Winter Games Society Partners with Twentyten Group
Prince George, BC-
The 2015 Canada Winter Games Host Society has signed up the Twentyten Group as Sponsorship Agency of Record.
The Twentyten Group is a sponsorship and marketing agency that will work with the 2015 Canada Winter Games Host Society to engage the corporate community. Led by Andrea Shaw, the former Vice President of Sponsorship, Sales and Marketing for the Vancouver Organizing Committee of the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC), the Twentyten Group is comprised of several key members from the VANOC marketing team that generated record-setting levels in domestic sponsorship revenue for a Winter Olympic Games.
“We are very excited to play a role in helping write the story of the 2015 Canada Winter Games, Prince George through the establishment of authentic corporate partnerships that help stage an extraordinary Games,” said Andrea J. Shaw,“These Games have the potential to inspire athletes, coaches, visitors and the host community alike and the Twentyten Group is dedicated to identifying partners from the private sector that can help realize this potential through investments which include sponsorship, products, services, know how, awareness, engaged staff, passion and financial assistance to name just a few.”
“We are thrilled to partner with the Twentyten Group as they have a phenomenal track record of sponsorship engagement and involvement,” said Stuart Ballantyne, CEO for the 2015 Canada Winter Games. “Additionally, they are an organization that has excellent culture, aspirations, and purpose and are through the establishment of exceptional partnerships.”

Do we really care? Let them go about their business. After all, that is what they are.
Then again, may this “partner” organization will share any financial losses as well, as any good partner would.
When they are finished their job in 2015, we can judge and the movie credits can play.
I mean, if we had a say in the matter, it would be a totally different thing. I suppose free advertising for the “partners” is one of the requirements we may have to suffer through.
The Winter Games are a done deal, they will be happening. Constant complaining is not going to change this. Gus if you feel the need to continue to voice negative comments at least wait until the games are done and over with.
I think the Host Society should be congratulated for beeing able to partner with the 2010 Group.
A wealth of knowledge and experience for the asking.
Well done! Go Team
You see, to me it is merely an opinion. However, if you feel the need to characterize comments into the negative box, and others into the positive box, by all means, go ahead.
As our Mayor has asked about city affairs, we ought to have a “conversation”. It is sort of like a brainstorming session. Everyone gets to put their two cents in, put the little sticky-note up on the board without judgment, and then the whole group looks at it and decides which ones to keep and which ones to throw away.
I know, it is difficult for some people to understand that kind of thinking. That’s alright too. It takes all sorts of different folks to make this place tick.
It’s a sunny day out. Go and enjoy.

Yes they are a done deal PGLadyBug but I think people have a right to complain about things when basic needs are being ignored,so we can have these feel good games.Same thing with the olympics.Massive amounts of money being spent on them and we can’t even offer small wage increases to all the public sector workers,who are going to be disrupting many of the basic things that people rely on nowadays.Even if the government could offer some small incentives to the teachers and others,the children and other citizen’s of the province may not suffer as uch as they are going too.But no we had to stage a grand event two years ago and now there is no money left for anything else.I don’t know about you PGLadyBug,but I don’t enjoy spending my free time at the dentist having my fillings re-done and at the auto shops having my vehicles repaired because our roads are crap and we are spending all this money on some feel good games.We need to get our priorties straight in this city before we take on the added expenses of building and hosting large events.
So this group is going to provide the heavy lifting, results and experience, so there’s no need to shell out big salaries to the Marketing guy and the Director, Revenue Generation guy, right?
Or is all you need to do to earn a big paycheque is pick up the phone and hire a consultant to do the work?
Is that a positive or a negative comment? Or just a question?
See, this is why I wrote what I wrote. There is no need to know the information that was passed on. It is simply a part of doing the job.
Once it does get passed on though, it is open for comments, good, bad, or indiffernt.
I, for one, get sick and tired of hearing the positive “yay us!” comments from some special interest people. It is my opinion that these games are a huge waste when basic infrastructure needs are going unmet. So, PGLadybug, can you quit? Kthanx.
And thank you, Gus, for always having a more realistic opinion on everything.
I know… you are expecting something witty but why don’t we ask Grande Prairie and Whitehorse…was it all worth it ? I know the answer if you asked the little nation of Greece if welcoming the Olympics was a benefit. Different scale I realize but the message is the same.
We don’t have thed BCR any more thanks to the olympics we do have a huge debt that no one is talking about. We don’t know just how big the debt is though. We don’t know just who is responsable for the sale of BC Rail. We know some of it but not all of it. We also know that the Prime Minister Mike Harper gave our priemier Gordon Campbel a very cushy job because of Gordo’s instigating the HST. When these things happen I become sick to my stomach. Now Harper wants to distroy BC. He wants to let Enbridge run a pipeline through BC. Now I’m beyond being sick to my stomach, I’m mad as hellll!
