FRANKLIN, MA (February 20, 2020)—The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) today announced a new multi-year partnership with Teall Properties Group (TPG), a multimedia and marketing management company for high schools, as the exclusive agent for strategic business partnerships, athletic sponsorships and multimedia rights.
Under the partnership, TPG will work with the MIAA to develop business relationships to benefit the Association, and in turn its member schools. TPG also will represent the MIAA in negotiations for opportunities related to the regional and national recognition of the Association’s championships and student-athletes across its 38 sports.
“Ratified by unanimous support of our MIAA Finance Committee, the Association is pleased to establish this partnership with TPG, a corporate sales company with an outstanding record of success, integrity and commitment to brand development and the enhancement of revenue growth,” stated MIAA Executive Director Bill Gaine.
“We can’t wait to increase revenue for the MIAA and grow its brand both regionally and nationally,” said TPG CEO Mike Wolfert. TPG will place a corporate sales professional at the MIAA in early March 2020 to begin “onboarding” and partnership for this exciting initiative.
The MIAA joins a group of seven properties associated with TPG, including the North Carolina Independent School Athletic Association (NCISAA, the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA), the Ohio Valley Athletic Conference (OVAC), the South Carolina Independent School Association (SCISA), the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League (WPIAL) and the Rhode Island Interscholastic League (RIIL).
