National Sports Forum Announces SAMMY Award Finalists
San Diego, Calif. (PRWEB) January 13, 2017 -- The National Sports Forum (NSF) is proud to announce the six finalists for the 2017 SAMMY Award. NSF is the largest annual cross-gathering of sports sales, sponsorship, business development and marketing executives in North America. Each year the National Sports Forum holds the NSF SAMMY (Sales Advertising Marketing Management Idea of the Year) Award, which recognizes the year's most outstanding idea in regards to the overall objective, action, and results. It was developed to give recognition to organizations that came up with a stellar idea, and followed through; generating higher ticket sales, activating more sponsorship, inking more deals and showing big results.
“The 2017 SAMMY Award submissions demonstrate the way the sports industry is continuously striving to create new and effective game-changing ideas,” said Ron Seaver, President of the National Sports Forum. “This year we saw many superb and creative campaigns and we are thrilled to have our finalists share these great sales, advertising, marketing, and management programs with our audience.”
A superior judging panel, consisting of sports industry professionals from the professional and collegiate teams in San Diego, CA reviewed all of the SAMMY submissions and narrowed them down to the six best ideas of the year. Finalists were chosen based on how well they executed their idea to see serious results.
