case study

IACP Sponsorship Portfolio

The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) is the world’s largest professional association for police leaders. mdg was charged with rehabilitating and modernizing IACP’s sponsorship program, which was floundering due to staffing shortages, lack of pipeline and dissatisfied sponsors, putting the association at risk. 

Approach:

  • Conducted a sponsorship optimization process and assessment, which resulted in a custom strategic plan.
  • Refined the IACP value proposition and sales communication strategy and processes.
  • Developed and managed IACP’s portfolio of events for the 2021-2022 calendar years.
  • Acted as an extension of the event teams to identify and create new partner opportunities for both the association and sponsors during peak sales months.

Results

  • +23% above revenue goals.
  • Increased confidence among management in sponsorship program.
  • Focus and alignment across organization.
