Are you looking for a sponsor but are finding it harder to get funding because sponsors are cutting budgets and “spending smarter”? </span></strong> If so, <strong><a title="SponsorPitch" href="http://www.sponsorpitch.com" target="_blank">SponsorPitch.com</a></strong> is your answer.  Properties are fighting harder for sponsorships and looking for every edge they can get in reaching decision-makers.  Luckily for us SponsorPitch is a company that provides a solution for both of these interests and takes on even greater importance, given the uncertain economic environment.</p>
<p><a title="Sponsorships" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/14/business/14nascar.html " target="_blank">This article</a> talks about how NASCAR is taking a huge hit right now because many major sponsors are backing out on funding.  As fans continue to go crazy at the races, NASCAR executives are having a hard time finding something to cheer about.</p>
<p><strong>It is nice to know this world is filled with guys like Kris Mathis, Founder of SponsorPitch, who was able to come up with a great solution for this problem.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://sportsnetwork.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/sponsorpage.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-86" title="sponsorpage" src="http://sportsnetwork.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/sponsorpage.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="292" /></a></p>
<p>Check out this video interview I recently did with Kris as he explains more about why he started SponsorPitch, how you can benefit from joining, and what you need to do to get started:</p>

Additional Comments:</p>
<p>Chris founded SponsorPitch based on his experience within an agency searching for new sponsorship opportunities for their clients, but looking for a more efficient resource for finding, filtering and evaluating them.  SponsorPitch&#8217;s virtual pitch platform allows marketers to evaluate opportunities in a smarter, efficient, and more comprehensive way.</p>
