Saw this article today about BofA naming a new sports marketing director. Could impact us. No mention of us in the article.

Um, I didn’t see much in the article that would suggest we have a shot at BoA being a NAMING rights level partner for us. Looks like they promoted their baseball sponsorship guy to get a leg up on renegotiating the MLB contract to me.

In other BizJournal News:

Charlotte Law School doubles in size to 800 students, so kiss a UNC Charlotte School of Law goodbye! Can’t wait till CMC and Presby get tired of Chapel Hill’s shell game and Dubois’s “slow-road” method and open their own Medical School.

I could see them being a sponsor, but not at a high level. They already have a partnership with the University in some areas but not sure about Athletics. Maybe an ‘official bank of’ sponsorship but I would be surprised if it was naming rights on the stadium/concourses etc.

Isn’t RBC the official bank of the Niners?

Yes, they are. Thanks to them, we were able to replace the old lite-brite scoreboard.

I still don’t get that one. Where is the nearest RBC branch?

Across Harris Blvd., at the Promenade.

Also it helps that the key contact for the bank is a Charlotte grad who thinks that it’s important for his employer to be involved with his alma mater. Cool, huh?

Got ya. Didn’t realize there was an RBC there… I’d never noticed any RBC branches west of Raleigh.

10

there is an RBC in Clemmons, NC.

Knowing little about marketing, I would say it’s a good move on their part, right in the middle of BofA country.

There are three branches in Charlotte plus an atm on campus:

There’s an RBC in Winston-Salem as well.

At least 1 if not more in Gastonia.
