The Cleveland Sirens haven’t even taken the court yet, and they’re already making major moves in the sports business. 👀
From custom sponsor care packages featuring local, women-owned businesses to a full-scale presentation at Rocket Arena, Cleveland took a creative approach to showing brands the value of investing in its new WNBA franchise.
And the strategy is paying off. 💰
Progressive, KeyBank and Cleveland Clinic are already on board as founding sponsors, with those deals expected to bring in eight figures annually — all before the Sirens play their first game.
