- KPIs: entitlement fee, contract length, sponsor satisfaction, renewal rate, brand impressions.

- What you do: Audit inventory, design placement plan, produce/install signage, maintain sightline compliance and digital inventory.
- Deliverables: signage inventory map, production specs, install/dismantle plan, GIS/shot-list for media.

7) Sport Agency (Athlete Representation)

- Deliverables: player contracts, endorsement deals, career roadmap, crisis PR plan.

Recommended process for delivering these services

- Contracting & legal (clear deliverables, exclusivity, IP use).
- Activation & fulfillment (creative, production, install).
- Measurement & renewal (post-event reports, insights and renewal proposals).

If you want, I can:
- Draft a sponsor-deck template for an event/team/athlete.
- Create sample price packages for entitlement, facility naming or sponsorship tiers.
- Draft key clauses to include in an endorsement or licensing agreement.
