Established Brand BATS Improv is a highly acclaimed, long-running theatre company in San Francisco, which lends strong brand credibility for corporate partnerships and private events. They offer group training, custom entertainment, and outreach programs, creating multiple revenue touchpoints for businesses and educational institutions. Sales strategy: pitch tailored improv workshops, on-site shows, and ongoing training retainers for companies, nonprofits, and schools in the Bay Area.
Diversity Outreach BATS has demonstrated a commitment to accessibility and inclusive programming through the Communities of Color Scholarship, extended to summer school. This positions them well to engage with DEI-focused corporate and nonprofit programs seeking sponsorships or co-branded inclusive workshops. Sales angle: propose DEI-focused training packages, scholarship-funded slots, and CSR-aligned partnerships with foundations or local firms.
Leadership Opportunity The appointment of Co-Artistic Directors in 2022 signals openness to strategic partnerships and new programming. This is an opportunity to propose pilot collaborations—new formats, online/offline experiences, or co-produced shows with partner brands. Use cases include corporate events, artist residencies, and community-focused programming.
SMB Scale With a staff size in the mid-market range and revenue in the lower-to-mid tens of millions, BATS presents a solid SMB sales target for retainer-based programs. Offers recurring revenue through ongoing workshops, private performances, and team-building packages for Bay Area businesses, universities, and nonprofits; cross-sell outreach programs and training classes.
Digital Expansion Technical capabilities and online-ready infrastructure implied by a modern tech stack suggest potential for digital or hybrid delivery. Propose online improv classes, virtual team-building sessions, streaming performances, and on-demand content to reach distributed teams and national audiences; align with schools and corporate clients seeking scalable experiences.
