    Trends are beginning to show integrated strategic partnerships may be the difference between thriving and surviving in the next 5 years. 

    Partnerships are the forgotten dark horse, usually mistaken for a highly effective sponsorship arrangement. A well executed integrated strategic partnership blurs the lines between the two, creating disruption in the market and successfully servicing the consumer's experiential needs.
