Mike Tannenbaum’s 33rd Team Names MELT as Official Sponsorship Agency of Record

Former New York Jets General Manager/Miami Dolphins Executive Vice President of Football Operations and current ESPN analyst Mike Tannenbaum’s 33^rd Team have joined forces with MELT to sell sponsorships across the entire platform.

Tannenbaum has leveraged his vast NFL experience to form the 33^rd Team and take advantage of fans’ thirst for year-round conversation around pro football.  The group’s public outreach includes a weekly newsletter filled with insider’s knowledge of trade rumors, weekly matchups, draft stock, and more.  Additionally, the website and social channels are updated regularly as pro football news breaks. New this year, the 33^rd Team will offer corporate hospitality opportunities around the big game, the draft, and all-star game, in addition to golf, dinner, and charity outings.

Vince Thompson, MELT Founder, and CEO will utilize his sponsorship expertise and industry connections to grow the 33^rd Team’s sponsorship roster. Thompson has been in the sports marketing business since 1980 when he worked his way through Auburn University as a student assistant in the sports information department during the glory days of Bo Jackson and Charles Barkley.  He founded Melt in 2000 to provide world-class ideas and solutions for some of the biggest brands in the world, including their 21-year representation of The Coca-Cola Company and their work for AFLAC, which includes the SEC, Coach Nick Saban, and the NCAA.

“I’m delighted to team up with Vince and MELT to bring the 33^rd Team to fans and corporate America and everyone’s insatiable desire for pro football content 12 months a year,” said Tannenbaum.

“I’m honored that Mike chose to work with MELT,” said Vince Thompson. “I’ve been a big fan of him and his work for a long time. What he has assembled at the 33^rd Team is something special.”
