Mills Marketing & Communications currently negotiates professional basketball sports sponsorship deals, with a variety of elements, with many teams and we maintain deep relationships across the leagues. These sponsorship programs include signage, local television, in-arena activation and social media components. We also sponsor in-game television segments and local pre-game and post-game shows.
Here are some of the elements we activate for our clients…
- Many of our professional basketball sports sponsorship deals include billboard signage that faces high traffic areas.
- We have experience negotiating naming rights for parking garages and other key pieces of real estate with teams.
- For one of our clients we negotiated kick plates under the seats on the bench. This placement delivers large Repucom ratings.
- Client name mention in PA announcements.
- Integrated, live regional sports network television coverage.
- Interactive social media components.
