We had the absolute pleasure of hosting a Best Practices Sponsorship Webinar with our partners at the USL. See our customers demonstrate and speak to how they are currently using Trak to accomplish a few critically important sponsorship objectives, all while managing the chaos of COVID-19.

We wanted to take a chance to use the recording to show you exactly how sponsorship teams are growing revenue and keeping pace with sponsor needs, all in Trak's Sponsorship Management Platform.

We broke the webinar into 3 different parts while also including the entire recording (scroll to the bottom) if you'd like to watch it start to finish.

We're ecstatic to showcase 3 of our fantastic partners; Louisville City, Greenville Triumph, and Hartford Athletic.
