I am looking for the name and contact information for the person at
"The Price is Right," Goodson Productions or CBS who is responsible
for corporate partnerships/sponsorship, advertising, marketing, etc.
with the gameshow "The Price is Right."  Specifically, I work for an
ad firm whos client would like to partner with "The Price is Right" on
an upcoming promotion.

Thanks!

Hello jgoddard,

Thank you for your question. 

This has been a most interesting search!

I searched numerous ways for the Price is Right and found many links
and pages. The official CBS show page for PIR shows their email as:

 pir@tvc.cbs.com 

Continuing on, it seems that Goodson Productions was acquired by Price
Productions. Searching further for "Price Productions" shows that even
Price Productions was then acquired by Pearson Television.

"Veteran models Kathleen Bradley and Janice Pennington left as part of
changes announced late last year when Pearson Television acquired
Goodson-Price Productions. Bradley, a former Miss Black California,
became a fixture on the show in 1990. Pennington had been with the
show since it began in 1972."

There are many links now for Pearson Television that point to the
parent company, Fremantle, which comes up listed as Pearson:

Hello again,

CBS has responded to my inquiry and suggests the following contacts:

Ellen Ross at CBS in NY. Her # is 212-975-2003.    

Another contact would be Annette Caggiano at Fremantle Media, also in NY.

I hope these additional contacts are fruitful for you.

Good answer but some of the contact info was not valid.
