Stony Brook Athletics partners with PMI College and MSP http://www.goseawolves.org/genrel/012313aab.html

Stony Brook, N.Y. - Stony Brook Athletics has announced a multi-year agreement with PMI College (PMI) and Madison Sports Partnerships (MSP) for the development of multimedia sponsorship rights to accelerate broad-based financial support for its fast-rising athletic programs.

Through this comprehensive multi-year partnership, PMI and MSP will represent all of Stony Brook University’s 20 men’s and women’s athletic programs in arranging multimedia sponsorship and naming rights opportunities with interested businesses and media institutions. The agreement also covers all of the university’s venues and facilities, including the new basketball arena, which will open in 2014.

“Stony Brook’s proud partnership with PMI College and Madison Sports Partnerships will facilitate financial progress with this university’s increasingly successful athletic department,” said Stony Brook University Director of Athletics Jim Fiore. “With our success on the field and in the classroom, our prestigious membership with the Association of American Universities and our proximity to New York City, Stony Brook Athletics is an attractive brand for any corporate sponsor.”

Working alongside the university’s athletics department personnel, PMI and MSP will assist in launching the school’s multimedia marketing, sales, events management, and communications activities. These efforts will include sponsorship and naming rights opportunities through television and radio content, programming and advertising, coaches' shows, stadium and in-venue signage, in- game promotions, pre-game and post-game events, official athletic website advertising, social media activity, mobile and tablet integration, coach and player-alumni endorsements, new technology, athletic media coverage, print publications, premium seating, hospitality, and tickets.

“Through their efforts, Stony Brook’s athletics program has built great momentum and now represents a very compelling and valuable opportunity for corporate sponsors and multimedia partners,” said Mary Lee Gilliland, MSP’s president. “We’re looking forward to helping Stony Brook continue making substantial strides locally and regionally through our comprehensive collegiate marketing platform.”

As part of the agreement, Stony Brook University also renewed its ticket sales partnership with PMI in a multi-year agreement.

“We’re excited to add corporate partnership sales to our existing outbound ticket sales services partnership with Stony Brook Athletics,” said Mark Washo, managing partner of PMI College. “Stony Brook has an athletics program on the rise, and we look forward to helping the school capitalize on all of its teams’ success to maximize its athletic revenue.”

Businesses interested in discussing naming rights and sponsorship opportunities with Stony Brook University should contact Mary Lee Gilliland or Mark Washo.

Funny you mention that.   When we went to the playoffs  for the first time Dr Stanley addressed  the team.  He called them "Long Islands Team"  in a video . That never really got pushed after that. That would be  a great way to start  .  Brand it with football-

I'll settle for "Long Island's College Sport team" as we are direct competitors to Hofstra/St.Johns/Long Island U for the market... New York is too big to try to target the whole state and with Rutgers in the Big Ten is going to get even harder to get a hold of the region. with the 7 million Long Island market we have more than enough. Syracuse is trying to target New York City but their main region is always going to be the Syracuse/Western NY area and I find that ad campaign really stupid...

Agree.
I think we have the potential to be the best in Long Island+Queens+Brooklyn... having football is a big advantage over Hofstra and St. Johns.
