Our take
SponsorUnited is a sports and entertainment intelligence platform that initially provided analytics data on the sponsorship data. Now, it enables brands and agencies to intelligently partner by connecting the partnership ecosystem, as a whole, through its comprehensive data.
Indeed, sponsorship is a multibillion-dollar industry yet there is a dearth of data on, say, historical performance trends that can inform and enable new, more effective sponsorships. The company is well equipped with data that includes tens of millions of images and assets, and that tracks hundreds of thousands of deals, brands and properties.
SponsorUnited serves over 250,000 brands, including some Fortune 500 firms. Having made the Inc. 5000 list for fastest growing companies three years in a row, SponsorUnited is investing capital into developing its technology, meeting the high demand for increased intelligence in the marketing industry.
