bright, diligent sponsorship sales executive and his creativity and business acumen was key to building a great partnership. Larry knows how to manage
brands, create value for sponsors, and create great activation programs, He is a good man!” November 10, 2010

“I first met Larry Weil five years ago when he was consulting with a company that was in the process of creating a multi-million dollar sponsorship portfolio. The
company’s management team, which had little previous experience, wanted to expedite the portfolio's development.
For the next several months, Larry exhibited expertise across a broad range of sponsorship issues as he oversaw the process. He led the team that
determined the type of sponsorships that were appropriate for the company’s goals, assessed available opportunities, made selections, and negotiated
customized sponsor benefit packages. It was through Larry’s ability that the company was able to meet its ambitious goals.
I have work with Larry on several other projects since then, so I can confidently offer my opinion. I believe Larry’s effectiveness is due in large part to his strong
organizational and communication/interaction skills along with an enthusiastic approach. He combines these traits with a willingness to keep both his
knowledge and abilities current and relevant in this fast-changing industry.
In short, I have learned from, enjoyed, and experienced success working with Larry – which makes him a valued business associate.” June 25, 2010

“I've known Larry for the better part of 10 years and consider him one of the
most innovative marketers in the business. We've collaborated on many
projects over the years, including sponsorship, naming rights and "green"
initiatives. In his new role at Branded Retail Energy, Larry has created a
program that I believe will be one of the most successful revenue generating
platforms in affinity sports history. I've felt privileged to work along side Larry
with some of our college and professional clients recently and would highly
endorse him on both a professional and personal front. He's simply one of the
best.” October 27, 2010
