Based in Denver, Colorado, Impression's most recent multi-million, multi-year sponsorship agreements include securing 10-year naming rights agreements in Greenville (Bon Secours Wellness Arena) and Indianapolis (Farmers Insurance Coliseum), securing the primary jersey sponsorship for the Colorado Rapids (Transamerica), and title sponsorships for the Cactus Bowl (Motel 6), the Independence Bowl (Camping World), the Bahamas Bowl (Popeyes), and the Tangerine Bowl (Russell Athletic).  Over the past five (5) years, Impression has secured over $48MM in sponsorship agreements for our clients.
