For Event Producers & Associations
Sponsorship Sales. Fully Managed.
We build your pipeline, lead sponsor conversations and close sponsorship, exhibit and partnership deals.
Selected Event & Client Experience
WHO IT’S FOR
Built for Event Producers & Associations.
SCE works with established organizations that have a valuable audience, meaningful sponsorship inventory and a clear opportunity to grow revenue.
Event Producers
Add sponsorship sales capacity without building another internal team.
Best fit when you are:
- Growing a conference or event portfolio
- Launching a new market or event category
- Underdeveloped sponsorship or exhibit inventory
- Limited experienced sales capacity
- Inconsistent sponsor pipeline or follow-up
Associations
Grow sponsorship, partnership and nondues revenue without turning your existing staff into full-time sellers.
Best fit when you are:
- Annual-meeting sponsorship
- Corporate partnership growth
- Year-round partner opportunities
- Nondues revenue development
- More consistent pipeline and sales accountability
Best suited to established organizations with a credible audience and roughly $500K+ in annual sponsorship, exhibit or partnership opportunity—or a clear path toward it.
Probably not the right fit for brand-new events without an established audience, very low-value sponsorship programs, commission-only engagements or organizations expecting guaranteed revenue.
How it works
Position. Build. Sell.
01
Position
Sharpen the sponsor offer, pricing and value proposition.
02
Build
Map the market and build a prioritized sponsor pipeline.
03
Sell
Lead outreach, meetings, proposals, negotiation and closing.
We don’t just sell inventory. We help position sponsor value around the audience, access and outcomes buyers actually care about.
One revenue process. From target account to signed agreement.
THE OPERATING ADVANTAGE
AI Behind the Scenes. Humans in the Conversation.
Our AI-native sales workflows accelerate sponsor research, account prioritization, outreach preparation, follow-up, CRM management, forecasting and reporting—so experienced salespeople can spend more time building relationships and closing revenue.
Find Better Opportunities
Market mapping, account research, sponsor-fit signals and contact intelligence help prioritize the organizations most likely to matter.
Move Faster
AI-assisted preparation, personalization, meeting intelligence and follow-up reduce the manual work surrounding every sales conversation.
See the Pipeline Clearly
CRM intelligence, opportunity analysis, forecasting and reporting provide a clearer view of pipeline movement and next actions.
Technology handles more of the manual work. Experienced salespeople handle the relationships.
The operating technology is built into the engagement—there is no additional AI platform for your team to implement or manage.
Every sponsorship starts with the right conversation.
