About

Rob Woodbury

I've spent 15 years making brand partnerships work — first from the agency side producing national tours for BMW, Coca-Cola, and EA Sports; then from the property side running a $50M+ NFL sponsorship portfolio at Hard Rock Stadium; then from the brand side building multi-league partnerships at PointsBet; and most recently leading partnership marketing and GTM in emerging tech at NEAR.

A partnership isn't what's in the contract — it's what shows up in the broadcast, the building, and the customer's hands.

Let's talk partnerships

Whether it's a sponsorship portfolio, a national activation program, or a partnership strategy that needs to get to market — I'd like to hear about it.
