“It is a complex process to build a unique strategy and approach to the market for partnerships. Lang Partnerships Network has been an invaluable asset to us throughout the process. They are very well connected and respected in the marketplace and have helped develop our strategy, fill the sales pipeline and work through complex partnership agreements. With very specific terms and conditions around rights, exclusivity, ambush marketing and value in kind. I’ve been relieved to have the help.”
