Minor League Baseball to Adopt Activator to Enhance Sponsor Relationships

The organization will begin utilizing Turnkey's state-of-the-art platform in January 2012 to collaborate with select sponsors, and track and report on deliverables in real time.


Haddonfield, New Jersey, November 16, 2011 - Minor League Baseball™ (MiLB) is the third professional sports league to adopt Activator, the cloud-based partnership management platform recently launched by Turnkey Sports & Entertainment.



Beginning in January 2012, MiLB will use Activator to manage and execute relationships with select partners through its national marketing program.



"Minor League Baseball has long been recognized for innovation, so we feel it is a natural fit to be one of the early adopters of the Activator program," said Tina Gust, Vice President of Business Development for Minor League Baseball. "We are looking forward to the enhanced communication, tracking and reporting we believe this platform will offer our partners and our staff."



Adopting Activator will enable MiLB to improve partner service, and enable league- and sponsor-side users to communicate and share content safely and securely, in real time, in a single, central location.



"We're extremely pleased that the team at Minor League Baseball sees value in the Activator platform," said Emily Huddell, Turnkey's Senior Vice President of Sales & Service. "Turnkey is confident that Activator will play a central role in helping the league and its teams grow their stable of marketing partner relationships, and we're thrilled to have been given the opportunity."
