NEW ORLEANS – New Orleans Vice President of Athletics and Recreation
Tim Duncan announced an expanded partnership with The Aspire Group, with Aspire managing sponsorship sales and activations for New Orleans Athletics.
The Privateers partnered with Aspire last season for tickets with
Vince Granito serving as Senior Director of Sales and Service. Granito will continue in his role and New Orleans will hire a sponsorship sales and service director to begin in early August.
"We're extremely excited to expand our relationship with Aspire to now include sponsorship sales," said
Steve Stroud, Deputy Athletic Director/Chief Development & Revenue Officer.
"We enjoyed a terrific first year with Aspire focusing on ticket sales under the leadership of Senior Director of Sales and Service
Vince Granito. We look forward to similar successes in regard to sponsorship sales and cannot wait to add a new staff member to #NOLAsTeam!"
"The Aspire Group is thrilled at the opportunity to enhance our partnership with UNO under the strong leadership of
Tim Duncan to handle collegiate sponsorship sales," said
Tony Garrett, Senior Vice President of Fan Relationship Management and DEI for The Aspire Group. "We look forward to many more years of successful growth across a variety of revenue streams."
New Orleans joins Morgan State as new sponsorship sales partners for The Aspire Group.
