What is sponsorshark?
 
    Sponsorshark is a service of 3dm Studios, a leading supplier of video board media throughout the sports industry.  Through this service we produce and distribute sponsored video board media for national and regional brands to minor league hockey teams throughout the United States..


Why minor league hockey?
   
     Simple.  There are approximately 100 minor league hockey teams throughout the United States.  Each team has an average attendance of six to ten thousand people per game.  With a season average of 32 games per team, the marketing value is enormous.  That's millions of potential customers.


Why video boards?
   
     With replays, scores, and highlights, video boards are a major part of the game's environment, capturing the fans' attention second only to the game itself.


Why sponsorshark?
   
     We have been providing quality media to this market for years and have built strong relationships throughout minor league hockey.  Simply put, we know this market.  By combining a distribution service, specific market expertise, and the best production company in the sports entertainment industry, we stand in a unique position to provide low-cost, effective advertising in a market worthy of investment.


Are there any limits on media content?
   
     In terms of our production capabilities, the answer is no.  However, there is a limit to what teams are willing to accept as video board entertainment content.  Teams place a high entertainment value on their video boards, video boards being a major part of their in-game entertainment presentation.  Although product placement in video board media is an acceptable method, teams simply don't want their video boards to become filled with commercials. This is where our experience helps.  We have been producing video board media for years and have a well defined sense of what teams are looking for.  Therefore, we can meet the demands of product branding while still producing clips that teams appreciate.


Why can't we guarantee specific teams?
   
     In most cases, this is not a problem.  Media needs and available video board time vary from team to team.  Many sponsors have no preference in what clip they sponsor and leave this decision to the teams.  For example, if you wanted us to distribute a "Powerplay" clip tagged with your company logo, some teams may already have a sponsored "Powerplay" clip, but may need an "Icing" clip. As you can see, with a small degree of flexibility in media content, most teams and cities can be reached. You can, of course, request any team or city and we'll do everything we can to include them in the distribution.
