Sponsorship strategy, consulting and intellectual-property plays that build real brand equity.

WHAT WE DO

WE’VE MANAGED BILLIONS. WE KNOW WHAT WINS.

Sponsorship activation is everything a brand does to make a sponsorship pay off — the events, content and experiences that connect fans to the brand behind the logo. A sponsorship is the right to be there; activation is what you do with it.

We’ve managed billions of dollars in sponsorship spend and activated against every major league in the world. But our edge is strategy: knowing which properties actually move your audience, and structuring the deal so the brand wins.

We also build and broker intellectual property — from reclaiming the War Eagle Supper Club trademark to brokering the marriage of Oak View Group and Live Nation for the City of Mobile’s $300 million arena.

SOUNDS FAMILIAR?

THE PROBLEMS WE ARE BUILT TO SOLVE.

01

You’re paying for rights you never fully use.

We turn paid rights into working assets — activation plans that squeeze value from every clause in the deal.

02

You can’t tell which properties are actually worth the money.

We analyze the landscape and tell you exactly where to invest — and where to walk away. Billions in managed spend has taught us what moves an audience.

03

Your deals stop at the logo.

We build and broker IP — trademarks, mixed-use development and venue partnerships that ladder back into brand equity, like the City of Mobile’s $300M arena.
