Gold/Silver/Bronze was designed by the IOC back in the 90s for their Total Sport global partners approaches and that filtered through to all national Olympic Committees and has been the benchmark since then. For me, the in-person pitch was my strength before C19, but since then I've realised that brands are making far more decisions on sponsorships and marketing opportunities through processes THEY initiate, rather than walk-ins. Lists and grids, while you seem to hate them, have been something that brands here want to see. They want to know before it gets to corporate/group level management what they're facing with. The person we interface with at the bottom of the corp ladder already knows what their brand wants to do in that fiscal, so you're really pitching ah HOW they will be encouraged to reshuffle that planned spend in that FY. To me...here in this market...what the big ticket sponsors want to see is exactly what you are discussing here though: Big Ticket Value Alignments. How does my project get them eyeballs they cannot get on their own.
