The COVID-19 pandemic forced sponsors, teams and leagues to dig out their sponsorship agreements and wrestle with the fallout of cancelled seasons and empty stadiums. As the sports and entertainment worlds begin to approach a return to normalcy, the industry is rethinking its approach to sponsorships to avoid the pitfalls of the last year.
With our featured guests, Andrew Cohen, Senior Vice President and Group Account Director of The Strategic Agency, and Todd Mikesell, Assistant General Counsel and Lead IP Counsel at Ball Corporation, this session will examine the impact of the pandemic’s effects on the sponsorship market and how sponsors are approaching this changed world as seen in the recently renamed Ball Arena.
This webinar will focus on:
- Force majeure clauses in a post-Covid world
- A renewed focus on valuing and measuring sponsorship assets
- Structuring sponsorships to achieve metrics beyond name recognition
