It’s been 20 years since the NCAA introduced its corporate champion and partner program, which included media and marketing rights for March Madness and other college championships together for the first time, and SBJ’s Smith observes that the program “rolls into [this year’s] March Madness with a robust program of three longtime champions — AT&T, Capital One and Coca-Cola — and 13 partners. Coke’s deal has lasted 20-plus years — the first iteration of it was valued at $500M over 11 years — and it is still going strong.” CBS SVP for Sakes and Marketing Simko: “Having relationships that in some cases go out two decades or more, that’s really given us the opportunity to grow and innovate around them. You’re able to build a trust as you go down this journey together and develop friendships. Having that level of trust, where we’re talking about how to help one another’s business as opposed to transactions, is really where you’re trying to get to.” Warner Bros. Discovery EVP for Ad Sales Diament adds: “When you have partners that have been around a long time, that doesn’t mean you can’t innovate or that things don’t evolve. You’re still in a position to try new things even though you might have had that partner for a long time. The media landscape changes. Social media changes.” (link)
