The persistence "
of media thinking.
Despite the"
hyper-connected "
world we live in.
Despite how we "
all live/consume.
And it hurts sponsorship thinking.
78% of sponsorship strategies "
and activation plans are developed
with zero focus on the real
business problem they are solving.

is an opportunity to create "
A win-win-win.

“You may think…I’m primarily in the
business of serving good food.
Actually, though, food is secondary to
something that matters even more…
creating positive, uplifting outcomes
for human experiences and human
relationships. Business, like life, is all
about how you make people feel.”!
