CLIENTS WE'RE PROUD TO REPRESENT

Sponsorship Sales & Service
Brokering Successful Partnerships
Our property clients know their events and venues better than anyone. But many do not understand why a company would want to be a sponsor? CSG knows how to target a potential sponsor’s audience, determine the key marketing, sales, CSR and communications objectives they need to achieve, and how to create compelling activations that provide brand engagement. We understand that work must begin far before the event actually takes place. That's why the CSG sales team creates custom proposals, determines properly-valued fees, identifies prospects, customizes the opportunities, ideates activations and much more. From sales representation to benefits fulfillment, we're beside you before, during, and after the event to make sure your sponsorship program exceeds your expectations and meets your revenue goals.

Event Activation / Field Promotions
Creating Compelling Brand Experiences that Engage
To assure maximum ROI, sponsors need to move beyond “booths and banners” to create compelling consumer experiences that are organic, relevant, interactive, compelling and measurable. CSG understands that both the property and sponsor must be fully integrated to achieve audience engagement. Allow us to help coordinate property negotiations, develop activation concepts, assemble brand ambassadors and manage sponsor experiences from beginning to end.
