Dear Markoh,
First of all, I want to apologize for taking one more day than I had
estimated, but I think the results will justify it. After a thorough
research using the word strategies “sponsorship agencies” alone, and
combined with “directory”, I could find some companies that might be
of your interest, an online free of charge listing, and a very
comprehensive sourcebook of the industry for sale. Here you are the
results of my research:
http://www.sponsor-service.com/
Sponsor-Service is a web-based organization that offers both sponsors
and properties worldwide, the possibility to connect each other, after
a process technologically assisted to match both parties’ profiles. A
$39 monthly fee to be included in their database is required. There’s
no location address given in its website; all communication is
supposed to be done through the website, except for this telephone
number:
+1 508 448 7851
http://www.sponsorwise.com/
Sponsorwise is another online service, operating in America, that
offers a matched contact between properties and sponsors. This service
offers properties’ presentations to be directly delivered to decision
makers at sponsors meeting their needs. A $45 fee is to be paid by
properties, per presentation for 12 months.
In the sponsors’ section, this telephone number is given:
916-987-3349
http://www.athelite.co.uk/index.html
This is a sponsorship agent focused in sports and located in Great
Britain. There’s no reference in the website whether its operation is
restricted to GB or international. No location address is given, but a
telephone number apparently from GB: 0191 209 1778. An email address
is also provided: info@athelite.co.uk

my search. It costs $229, and you can see its description at

This link I’ve found at the Outdoors Yellow Pages, corresponding to
the category “Marketing, Event and Sponsorship Agencies”, might be
what you where actually looking for: a directory of +900 companies of
the industry, accessible online and free of charge. As you can
imagine, it’d take too long to compile all those addresses in this
thread. Nevertheless, it’s a handy resource to help you find what you
need.
