What happens when you stop treating sponsorships like transactions and start treating them like strategic partnerships? Justin and Joe pull back the curtain on two recent deals—a $10K sponsorship and a $7K campaign—breaking down exactly how they positioned themselves, what they pitched, and where they probably left money on the table.
