Brent Barootes- CEO Partnership Group – Sponsorship Specialists®
I have known Sam since 2018 when I met him at a sponsorship marketing conference in Edmonton. Then I worked with him on projects his employer at the time had engaged us to assist with. From the moment I met him I could experience his passion for hard work and delivering on results.
Sam landed in the sponsorship industry by accident in 2015 when his friend needed help with a golf course project. Since then, he has taken a keen interest in learning new industry practices and growing his expertise in business development and sales.
His passion and storytelling abilities make him an excellent salesperson for properties. He is able to understand their assets and take them effectively to market. His experience and knowledge of the sector and his work with so many sponsors over the years make him an outstanding consultant for brands and assisting them in ROI delivery.

He has always brought a great deal of expertise and passion to the projects he has been a part of, his community connections are some of the strongest of anyone I've worked with and he is always willing to put in the extra. It is my belief that Sam and Black Bridge are a pillar in connecting businesses like ours to the people we want to support.
