2017 HAMPTON CLASSIC SPONSOR REPORT 2017 Sponsor Report / 1 OPENING LETTER Shanette Cohen Executive Director Dear Sponsor, Th ank you so much for your support of the 42nd annual Hampton Classic Horse Show, and your role in ensuring it was a truly successful event. Our world-class equestrian competition attracted approximately 50,000 attendees over the course of the 8-day event. Com- petition commenced with 100 lead-liners on Opening Day in our Grand Prix Ring. We were thrilled to continue with two exciting competitions we unveiled last year – the $30,000 Boar’s Head Jumper Challenge presented by Dan’s Papers in the Grand Prix Ring and the $10,000 Marders Local Hunter Derby in the Anne Aspinall Ring. Th e Hampton Classic welcomed Blue Shoe Strategy on-site this year during the show to manage our social media campaign. As a result, the horse show enjoyed a greatly enhanced presence on social media platforms with video interviews, extensive Instagram stories, the establishment of a SnapChat channel, and other special features. Th ank you to some of our key new sponsors – American Express, who entertained in their Chalet all week, LeSportsac, who provided the championship bags and sponsored the $15,000 Speed Derby, Montauk Tackle Co. who provided our crew shirts, gift s for the Adoption Day horses, and had on-site boutique space, and CWD, who co-sponsored the Rider’s Lounge with Der Dau. Noosa Yoghurt was also a welcome new presence, off ering complimentary breakfast in our VIP tents and product samples around the grounds. We’d also like to thank Longines for their continued support of the Hampton Classic. Th ey awarded six watches to Hampton Classic competitors. Longines also provided world-class timing services as the offi cial time-keeper of the Hampton Classic, and more than a dozen fl at-screen TV’s around the show grounds so everyone could catch the competition. For those who couldn’t attend the event in person, Longines was our offi cial media sponsor, allowing for complimentary live streaming of all Grand Prix ring events, and support of WVVH Hampton Television’s local coverage. We truly appreciate the entire roster of Hampton Classic sponsors. We wouldn’t have a successful show without your support and involvement. We hope you will continue to work with us next year and into the future. Mark your calendars now for the 2018 Hampton Classic, August 26 through September 2.
