An Update on Our Efforts to Help the Sponsorship Industry Recover and Relaunch

During this unprecedented and turbulent time for the live events industry, SponsorPitch is taking major steps to help the industry recover from the current pandemic, and what is estimated to be a $10B loss in sponsorship value as a result. Today we outlined some our recent steps to help revitalize the sponsorship industry's recovery.


In addition to extending its currently discounted pricing through the end of September 2020, SponsorPitch has added a host of new features that professionals looking to relaunch their sponsorship efforts can currently take advantage of on the platform.


New features and partnerships include:

  • Pricing and Transactional capabilities on SponsorPitch Proposals; post pricing, packages, negotiate and even accept payment through the SponsorPitch platform.
  • Customized Lead Alerts to help sellers see which sponsors have the highest correlation to their value proposition. See directly on a sponsor's page whether a sponsor is active in your market, sponsors similar events to yours or has overlapping demographics with your event or property.
  • Training to help sponsorship pros learn from experts and improve key sponsorship profession skills through daily video content and events. To further its mission of moving the industry forward with best practice sponsorship skills, SponsorPitch will also participate and partner with events such as this September's Sponsorship Mastery Summit to support sponsorship training to a wider audience of professionals.


    "Having been witness to event sponsorship's unprecedented growth over the past 10 years, SponsorPitch is honored to take a leading role in helping the industry recover and calls on others in similar roles to take the lead with us," says Kris Mathis, CEO of SponsorPitch. "While the events and sponsorship industry may look a little different, we're excited to help professionals lean-in to the future of sponsorship with these new efforts and expect a significant industry rebound in the coming months ahead."


    SponsorPitch's partnership with the Sponsorship Mastery Summit is a perfect example of two companies coming together to help reinvent and grow the industry in uncertain times.


    "Sponsorship Mastery Summit (SMS) is thrilled to partner with SponsorPitch. Our shared dedication to equip sponsorship professionals with cutting-edge tools and information has never been more important," said SMS Founder Paula Beadle. "I can’t think of anyone better than SponsorPitch’s CEO Kris Mathis to talk about Emerging Trends at this year’s Summit. Together we will fuel creativity, connection, and learning as we all prepare for the future of sponsorship." SMS is a 2-day virtual event, bringing together sponsorship leaders to exchange ideas, share experiences and master the art and science of sponsorship on Sept. 23 & 24.
