PLANO, Texas – Collegiate marketer Learfield and financial and accounting firm ATAX, announced today a new multi-year partnership involving three new partners of Learfield collegiate partners located in the Northeast.
Concurrent with the 2017-18 athletic season, ATAX will have a comprehensive sponsorship presence with Seton Hall, Army West Point, and Fordham, all represented by Learfield. As the athletics multimedia rights holder for these schools, Learfield is working closely with ATAX to navigate the company’s broader strategic entry into the collegiate sports landscape. At the three institutions, the financial services company will receive exposure with their campus communities, fans and alumni through signage, digital and social media engagement. Fan-centric contests originating through social media channels will go live closer to basketball season.
“We are extremely proud to have ATAX expand their corporate partnership presence with us in the Northeast Region,” stated Pam Batalis, Vice President – East for Learfield. “Already a corporate partner with Manhattan College Athletics, ATAX understands that the fan engagement delivered by collegiate sports is unparalleled. With the addition of the athletics fan bases at Seton Hall, Army West Point and Fordham, they will be directly engaging with a large, loyal consumer group. This will be a win-win!”
“I am very excited for this great partnership with these fine educational institutions which open the doors for ATAX to connect with the next generation of Taxpayers and I really would like to thank the team of Learfield for the great collaboration,” said the President and CEO of ATAX Franchise Rafael Alvarez.
