Cricket South Africa (CSA) has launched its inaugural two-day sponsors’ forum with its commercial partners near Hermanus this week.
“With the constructive developments attained at this forum I can foresee it becoming an annual event,” commented CSA CEO Haroon Lorgat.
“We live in a fast paced and changing world where the needs of sponsors must be properly understood and we must challenge ourselves to do everything possible to help them achieve their goals.
“We are fortunate to have such quality partners who are the lifeblood of our sport. This week’s forum has provided collaboration opportunities which will hopefully lead to win-win situations for all of us,” he concluded.
Topics at the forum varied from fan engagement strategies to the CSA cricket pipeline to the current sponsorship landscape.
Also attending the forum was Proteas captain, Graeme Smith, Proteas head coach, Russell Domingo and Proteas team manager, Dr Mohammed Moosajee.
