Sponsorship

Why Sponsor ISM?

Sports sponsorships are a proven medium used to connect with key business targets in a highly effective manner. FORBES magazine estimated over 80,000 brands invested over $60 Billion on over 160,000 sports, entertainment, cause, celebrity, athlete, and event sponsorship deals in 2023. We are here to help you achieve results.

By sponsoring a major sports event through ISM, you and your company would have the opportunity to favorably associate your brand with a mutually enjoyed sports experience. The result: A positive association for your corporate brand with the event. Thus, the event attendees become a captive audience to deliver a chosen message.

The association between your company and our event is very powerful since it is perceived as an endorsement of the brand by the event. It will open doors to exclusive opportunities previously unavailable in the high-end market where you excel. While consumers are aware of sponsorship costs, the message retained is more subtle than that from the more direct, paid-for, advertisement. The bottom line is sponsorships work and ISM will create the most relevant and effective sponsorship for your company.
