DUBLIN, Ohio - The University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh Department of Athletics has retained The Team: Sports, Entertainment, & Media to assist it with assessing and improving its corporate advertising and sponsorship program.

The Team, through its Collegiate Services Division, will provide assessment, recommendations, and direction for all sponsorship and advertising related activities within the school's athletic department.

“We are excited about our relationship with The Team,” said Oshkosh Athletics Director Al Ackerman. “Our goal is to improve our sponsorship and advertising program. We are excited about the experience that The Team brings to this project and look forward to working with them during the coming months.”

The Team will conduct a structural assessment of the department's existing sponsorship and advertising program as well as meet and interview a number of current Oshkosh sponsors. The Team staff will then help Oshkosh develop a plan for improvement and work with the athletic department to implement that action plan over the upcoming year.
