New York City, NY (PRWEB) March 29, 2017 -- The Professional Squash Association, the global governing body for men’s and women’s professional squash, announced it has enlisted New York City-based sports and entertainment marketing firm Leverage Agency as its exclusive global marketing partner. The agency will develop and procure sponsorship opportunities for the Professional Squash Association (PSA), which includes first-time ever title sponsorship, naming rights, event sponsorship, branding rights, ambassador program and other customized activations. Leverage was awarded the business after an extensive international search by the PSA.
