BUILD BETTER PARTNERSHIPS AND BETTER FUTURES
2 WWW.IEG2015.COM +1.312.944.1727 #IEG2015
In 2015, IEG turns its focus to next- generation partnerships.
No matter the industry or region of the world, game-changers are breaking apart legacy approaches and hacking their way to value creation faster than ever before. Invention is the driver of growth.
Whether you represent a brand, a sponsorship opportunity or clients needing to forge compelling partnerships, IEG’s four-day boot camp for brains will show you how to become a high performer by replacing approaches based on what’s been with strategies built around what could be.
WHAT’S NEXT NOWOur agenda for Sponsorship Makers has been designed to demonstrate the vast potential of partnerships to deliver real solutions, as well as reveal the power of disruption and invention.
You will discover how new technologies and big data are being deployed to raise the bar on sponsorships of all types and sizes by both category leaders and challenger brands.
IEG is a conference you will use, not just attend. It is not a gabfest of talking heads nor a product expo with seminars on the side. Between the unprecedented networking with partnership professionals and the menu of more than 50 outcome-based learning sessions each day, it is a smart investment in your success.
Unite with 1,200 marketing leaders and be prepared for the opportunities that come with joining the industry’s most connected practitioners and most potent network. Get ready for the rush that comes with hatching partnerships that will propel your business, your community and your career.
We look forward to seeing you in March.

UNLEASH THE POWER OF INVENTION
#IEG2015 +1.312.944.1727 WWW.IEG2015.COM
We associate makers with people who use 3-D printers, sell on Etsy and find funding on Kickstarter.
But the people behind great sponsorships—who put invention rather than mere innovation at the heart of the proposition—are makers too. Operating at the speed of culture, they are using their partnerships to create new products, new services, new channels and new communities.
Take the Minnesota Timberwolves. The NBA team’s new Mayo Clinic partnership extends well beyond the stadium to the creation of a new community asset, the Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine Center in downtown Minneapolis. It will include the team’s practice facilities and administrative offices, as well as a center for youth basketball.
The French Football Federation, another rightsholder embracing invention, stages job fairs that bring together its unemployed fans with HR reps from its sponsors.
Mizuno USA is using its partnership with the nonprofit Back on My Feet to bring something new to the running community. Its Mizuno Baton app puts connectivity to work against homelessness and has been passed by more than 100,000 runners.
Budweiser showcases its maker cred with title of the Made in America Festival, an event co-created with Jay Z and celebrated in the brand’s “Makers of Tomorrow” ad.
In 2015, all sponsors and rightsholders need to think and behave more like makers than marketers.
It is no longer enough to piggyback what exists. In our always-on, everything-connected world, it is the power of invention that is disproportionately rewarded.
Just as technology is driving a new wave of invention that scales almost overnight (think the “sharing economy” exemplified by Airbnb and Uber), partnerships that create something new deliver the impact necessary to provide real competitive advantage.
Sponsorship Makers, IEG’s 32nd annual conference, blueprints the infinite opportunities that exist to use your partnerships to broader effect, generating new assets that return financial, social and cultural capital.

OPENING ADDRESS9:45 – 10:45am
Increasing Partnership’s Return on Invention Lesa Ukman, Chief Insights Officer, IEG
Sponsorship is an ideas business. Each partnership begins as a blank slate limited only by the creativity of the people buying, selling and activating the deal. Rightsholders who team with sponsors to create something new sell more, because traversing new frontiers together deepens relationships and commitments. For sponsors, the upside in becoming a maker includes the increased ROI that comes with getting credit from fans for bringing something that didn’t exist to the table. What’s made can take many forms, including Movements, Communities and Stories. What they all have in common is an invention-first approach to partnership that breaks through and delivers true competitive advantage.

A New Partnership Model to Enhance Digital Assets and Content Andy Tretiak, Chief Marketing Officer, Sporting Kansas City and Brian Yamada, Executive Director of Channel Activation, VML
The unique partnership between Sporting KC and VML establishes the digital agency as “official marketing partner” of the MLS club. VML’s considerable expertise in Web, social, mobile, innovation and other digital marketing is being put to work fueling the continued brand transformation of Sporting KC by enhancing the digital approach — from the team’s technology innovations to more traditional sponsorship assets. Andy and Brian will discuss the creatively structured partnership and offer their insights into building value for properties and sponsors through digital.
Achieving Audacious Goals by Integrating Sponsorship into Brand and Business Mark Versteegen, Director of Sponsoring, and Koos Onderwater, Senior Consultant, Sponsoring, KPN N.V.

GoPro: Building a Global Brand with User-Generated Content Todd Ballard, Director of Global Sports Marketing, GoPro
If a video is viral and sharable, chances are GoPro is involved.

Todd will provide insight into the initiatives that have empowered GoPro’s customers to play an integral role in the company’s global marketing strategies, discuss the delicacies of balancing user-generated and sponsored content, and share best practices for engaging ambassadors and consumers in an authentic and credible way.
Integrating Sponsors into Foundation and Community Outreach Programs Glenn Weckerlin, Director of University Partnerships & Association Relations, Chevron Corporation
Activating sponsorships with cause and community overlays has become a widely adopted and successful practice. Yet rightsholders and their partners continue to struggle with what should be a direct way to connect sponsorship and social responsibility: tying sponsors to a property’s community relations and/or foundation programs. Glenn will share practical examples of how Chevron and its partners are successfully meeting that challenge.

Turning Responsibility into Opportunity: Heineken’s “Dance More, Drink Slow” Program Hans Erik Tuijt, Global Heineken Activation Director, Heineken International
Heineken is using partnerships with electronic dance music DJs to shine a light on the positive benefits of responsible drinking, both for young adults and club owners and bartenders. The bottom line: Club goers have a better time and will be more frequent visitors when they drink less and dance more. Hans Erik will share the thinking behind this counterintuitive strategy, as well as insights into the EDM landscape.
NETWORKING LUNCH AND KEYNOTE ADDRESS12:30 – 2:30pm
Making a Difference: How DonorsChoose.org Is Rewriting the Rules for Nonprofits and Their PartnersCharles Best, Founder and CEO, DonorsChoose.org
The epitome of a maker, Charles is a visionary who saw the potential in crowdfunding 14 years ago as a public school teacher. He will share how DonorsChoose.org—one of Fast Company’s s top 10 World’s Most Innovative Companies—has stayed agile, built on its achievements and is going beyond its phenomenally successful fundraising platform ($250 million and counting) to make a movement that will implement real change and influence public education for years to come.

Organizations and events typically provide activation footprints to their sponsors and expect those partners to deploy their own data collection methods. The net result is often a diminished fan experience that includes standing in lines, filling out forms and little-to-no insight into brand engagement. See how leading rightsholders are breaking that pattern by deploying interactive technology to enhance the fan experience and drive robust data for themselves and their brand partners.
The Role of Content Creation in Successful Sponsorships Eelco van der Noll, Head of Global Experiential Platforms, Anheuser-Busch InBev
AB InBev has embraced digital and other content as a cornerstone of its sponsorship activations. Eelco will discuss how a content-driven approach to activating the 2014 FIFA World Cup has driven a step-change in how the organization thinks about sponsorship. The brewing giant’s goals for its global experiential platforms—which include various music platforms, including its owned Budweiser Made In America festival, as well as sponsored properties such as Wimbledon, UFC and the NFL—are to improve market share and increase brand preference and brand health.

Social and Digital: A New Era for Sports Partnerships Thierry Borra, Director, Olympic Games Management, The Coca-Cola Company
Across its many partnerships and marketing ventures, Coca-Cola considers a social continuum—from social media (plan integration) to social marketing (touchpoint integration) to social business (company integration) to social reality (operating in real time)—as it seeks to create emotional relationships with consumers. Thierry will address this, as well as the importance of exclusive content and consumer co-creation.
Using Social Media to Connect Consumers to Brand Purpose Ahmet Abaci, Vice President, Brand Marketing & Management, Mizuno USA
Building on Mizuno’s “What If Everybody Ran” campaign, which celebrates running’s ability to inspire positive change, Ahmet will share how and why the brand created a cause platform donating one dollar for every mile run by consumers who downloaded a mobile “baton” app. The baton was easily passed through social media sharing to build a virtual relay in support of Back on My Feet, a nonprofit that helps those facing homelessness.
