Award Winning Choose Chicago recently earned top honors at the AMA Chicago Palmer Marketing Awards for integrated marketing and engagement, signaling strong creative execution and measurable impact that can be highlighted in sponsorship pitches, case studies, and partnership proposals to attract potential sponsors and vendors.

Strategic Partnerships Recent partnerships with Amazon for Prime Day, the James Beard Foundation, and Hunden Strategic Partners indicate a proactive approach to distribution, authenticity, and market research—opportunities exist to propose co-branded campaigns, exclusive travel packages, and data driven promotions with aligned brands and culinary/tourism ecosystems.

Leadership Growth Promotions within the leadership team, including Vice President of Human Resources, suggest an organization investing in people and culture; sales conversations can leverage this to position Choose Chicago as a stable, growth oriented partner with strong governance and collaborative decision making.

High Revenue Scale With an annual revenue range of 500M to 1B and a sizable employee base, there is capacity for larger sponsorship tiers, venue and experiences packages, and marketing collaborations that can deliver broad exposure across national and international audiences.

Global Marketing Ops The tech stack includes programmatic advertising and analytics tools (The Trade Desk, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, Google Publisher Tag) suggesting readiness for data driven campaigns; sales teams can propose performance based partnerships, retargeting initiatives, and measurable ROI aligned with Choose Chicago’s destination marketing goals.
