Connect Partnership Group will work alongside the SFC team to accelerate and scale commercial partnership opportunities.
“We’ve spent the past two years building what we believe is the fastest growing sports media property in the world,” said Mark Neifeld, Commissioner and CEO of Sport Fishing Championship. “With Connect Partnership Group’s exceptional track record of attracting lucrative commercial partnerships, we are well-positioned to accelerate our presence with endemic and non-endemic brands looking to align with an audience that data proves is younger and more affluent than Formula One.”
