October 20, 2021
Andrew Campagnone named Vice President of Sponsorship Sales
On the heels of numerous wins, including the successful re-launch of the ESPN Events Tailgate Tour and the T-Mobile Kick-Off Concert in Atlanta, FishBait Solutions is expanding its team.
Andrew Campagnone, a seasoned sports marketing professional, has joined the company as Vice President of Sponsorship Sales. He brings a long history in top-tier sales and marketing, with a portfolio that includes Major League Baseball, the National Hockey League and NASCAR.
“In the world of event sales and activation, there’s truly nowhere to hide. We must deliver, every time,” said Rob Temple, FishBait CEO. “Andrew’s proven record of achievement sets him apart in the field and promises to bring real benefits to our clients.” Temple adds that Campagnone will focus much of his work on the Southeastern market, especially in support of the emerging Liberty Trail program that preserves Revolutionary War battle and skirmish sites, as well as the company’s collegiate sports and country music activities.
A Delaware native, Campagnone is based in Concorde, North Carolina and St. Augustine, FL – bringing FishBait’s national reach to encompass offices in eight states. Starting his career in media sales honed Campagnone’s negotiation skills, and he has helped secure $300 million in sponsorship opportunities during his career.
