Sponsorship involvement in the commemoration of MLK50 was important in fostering goodwill in the Memphis community and nationwide, and aligning brands with the important platforms that have meant so much throughout the Civil Rights Movement.
For the MLK50 Commemoration, worked to ensure that people were where they needed to be, that programs were rich in content and scope, that the speakers, panelists, civil rights icons and new movement makers were in place to share their stories and perspectives, that the logistics, technology, broadcasts and production elements didn’t fail us, and that we never lost the message of Dr. King, or our theme, “Where Do We Go from Here?” And by all accounts, it was a success – all thanks to our sponsors. We could not have done it without them.
