NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2001 (PRIMEZONE) -- SponsorClick announced today that it has reached $250 million worth of sponsorship opportunities, in 9 months of operations. Most of the opportunities are under exclusive contract with SponsorClick to help find new sponsors through an on-line matchmaker.
Sponsors and communication/PR agencies across the board agree that having a broad choice of opportunities is the key to successful sponsorship. With SponsorClick, they can identify their best matching sponsorship opportunities at a variety of levels (local, regional, national and international) according to their budgets: properties range from less than $1,000 to more than $11 million in value.
Xavier Quattrocchi, CEO of SponsorClick, commented, "We already have a good image of what the sponsorship market is like globally: the majority being sports (65%), followed by Arts (15%) and charity (10%). We also noted that the new types of opportunities we added recently are progressing very quickly: this is the case of environmental project, Website and TV program sponsorships. Some of the most extraordinary opportunities in SponsorClick's database include a submarine designed to film and study the sub-aquatic environment, a U.S. Marines Corp sports team, a scientific project to re-measure Earth's seven highest mountains and a conference with the Dalai Lama."
One of the reasons for SponsorClick's success is that it is easy for promoters to register their sponsorship opportunities directly on www.sponsorclick.com: questionnaires are adaptive (they recognize the difference between an artist, a charity organization or a sporting event) and are available in 5 languages. In parallel, approximately 30 sports, arts and event marketing agencies have signed up, giving access to their portfolios of sponsorship opportunities.
With such a diverse pool of opportunities, SponsorClick is able to find virtually any sponsorship solution for any sponsor or communication/PR agency in Europe and in North America.
