The Crew Academy

Sports Marketing, Event Management & Partnership Sales

We are not teaching "Sports Marketing."  We are teaching how sports marketing actually gets done.

Most Universities teach:

  • Marketing theory

  • Consumer behavior

  • Sports law

  • Finance

But they rarely teach:

✔ How to sell a sponsorship.

✔ How to build a prospect list.

✔ How to run a client meeting.

✔ How to activate a sponsorship.

✔ How to build a recap report.

✔ How to negotiate.

✔ How to run an activation.

✔ How to represent a Fortune 500 client.

✔ How to dress at an event.

✔ How to network.

✔ How to send follow-up emails.

✔ How to use AI in sponsorship sales.

*This is what employers are actually looking for in entry-level hires.
