CHARLOTTE, North Carolina — August 11, 2023 — Mavendog is honored to be a Small Business Partner of the NFL’s Carolina Panthers. The program is the first-of-its-kind in the NFL. The invitation comes as part of a new partnership the Panthers established in May 2023 with sports rights specialists, Eleven Sports Media. Mavendog will be part of the inaugural class of Small Business Partners for the next three Panther seasons. The company will be featured on the Panthers official website and throughout the stadium on gamedays via Eleven Sports Media’s award-winning StadiumTV fan-engagement experience. Fans can also see upcoming announcements and updates from partner channels across LinkedIn and Twitter.
In the Charlotte region, 90% of businesses have between 1-500 employees, with 75% of that number made up of firms with 1-to-19 employees (according to data from the US Census Bureau, as of 2022). The Panthers are the first to open a pathway for its local small businesses, leveraging Eleven’s award-winning partnership model that is already well-known in Major League Soccer. It brings North and South Carolina small businesses closer to the Panthers, and Panthers fans closer to their small business community.
“It is fantastic that the Panthers organization has developed this program with Eleven Sports Media. To that end, we are thrilled to have been invited. While it’s an obvious point of pride to align our brand with the Panthers and Eleven, we’re also excited to represent all Carolina small businesses and entrepreneurs on this stage.” – Jon Vordermark, President
