About · Burks Biz Dev

Fifteen years in this industry taught me one thing. The audience is never the problem.

I have been in the events industry for fifteen years. I have sat across the table from PayPal, Visa, Netflix, Amazon, and Mastercard. I have closed deals that other agencies said were not possible — and I have watched event founders leave hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table because the strategy was not there, or nobody stayed in the room long enough to close it.

That is why I built Burks Biz Dev.

Not to consult. Not to advise from a distance. Not to hand you a template and tell you to execute. To take the whole thing over and close it.

What I kept seeing in this industry was event founders with real audiences, real cultural relevance, and real sponsorship potential who were either doing it themselves and burning out, or paying for help that gave them a plan but not a partner.

I built this agency to be the partner I kept watching people need. Someone who knows this industry well enough to know which brands are in market, which decision makers actually pick up the phone, and what it takes to move a deal from interested to signed before your event date runs out.

If you are running a sports or entertainment event and you are serious about growing your sponsorship revenue, I want to talk to you.

it's already yours.
