But skyrocketing ad fees, emerging new delivery systems like cable, expanding minority markets and a hunch that advertising was not the way to reach TV-reared baby-boomers, led Ukman to envision opportunities for non-traditional media.

Sponsorship was the one that interested her. It broke through the marketing clutter and channeled funds back to communities via festivals, sports events and cultural institutions. However, her attempt to learn more about the medium that put Kool into jazz festivals, Coors into bike racing and Manufacturers Hanover into running, was futile.

While a handful of companies were using sponsorship, it had never been defined as a marketing discipline and there were no publications reporting on it, no seminars teaching it and no studies measuring it.

Ukman, along with her brother and co-founder Jon Ukman, created IEG Sponsorship Report, the biweekly newsletter on sports, arts, event and cause marketing, to fill that information void. With the publication of the first issue in May 1982, IEG gave focus to a fledgling industry that today is worth more than $19 billion a year worldwide.

The company is now the world's leading provider of sponsorship information, publishing the IEG Sponsorship Sourcebook, IEG Sponsorship Contracts, IEG Intelligence Reports and IEG's Complete Guide to Sponsorship and producing the 16-year-old Event Marketing Conference.

Through IEG Consulting, the company provides custom research and strategic counsel to sponsors and properties. All counsel is objective, as IEG Consulting does not represent or own any properties.

Prior to forming IEG, Ukman launched the City of Chicago's corporate partnership program. Working in the Mayor's Office of Special Events, she introduced sponsorship of the Chicago Int'l Jazz Festival, Taste of Chicago, the City's Neighborhood Festivals and the other events produced by the office. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
