2023 NFL Training Camp: Presenting Partner Best Practices

The NFL season starts long before the first snap of the first game. Training camp is the first opportunity of the season for teams to engage with fans and build excitement for the games to come. Not only are there fans to connect with, there’s also money to be made. NFL teams across the league sell such assets as training camp presenting partnerships and jersey patches, to brands looking to reach football fans. 

Tracking and valuing branded campaigns during training camp becomes easy with Blinkfire’s AI and computer-vision technology. Blinkfire’s campaign reporting tool lets users create customized campaigns by uploading unique logo lockups, including campaign-specific hashtags, and setting campaign rules. Tracking and reporting then spans the allotted time of the campaign. 

To inspire your content creation and sponsorship opportunities, we tracked some of our favorite examples from around the league during NFL training camp.

Atlanta Falcons x AT&T

The most common way brands activate during NFL Training camp is jersey patches and presenting partnerships. AT&T has both for the Atlanta Falcons this year. On top of physical signage at the Falcons’ practice facility, the Falcons added over 200 social posts featuring their customized logo lockup with AT&T. With this brand exposure, the Falcons were able to showcase AT&T to their loyal fans who follow the team during training camp.

Detroit Lions x Rocket Mortgage

Since 2018, the Detroit Lions training camp has been presented by Rocket Mortgage. Accurately tracking campaigns for long-standing sponsorships can show year-over-year growth and build stronger partnerships.

Dallas Cowboys x American Airlines and AT&T

Teams can also elect to break up sponsorships across different training camp assets. The presenting partner for Cowboys training camp is American Airlines, while AT&T is their training patch partner.
