About Jackson Kewitsch

With experience across sports, media, and brand environments, my work sits at the intersection of marketing, partnerships, and execution. The focus has consistently been on making sponsorships and branded initiatives function in real settings, balancing partner expectations with audience experience.Previously, I have supported partnership activation, brand marketing, and sales efforts for organizations including Minnesota United FC, the Minnesota Timberwolves, the University of Florida, Erik’s Bike Shop, and 10K Takes Media. These roles involved coordinating sponsor activations, managing partner deliverables, executing branded campaigns, and assisting with live events and digital initiatives, often across multiple stakeholders and tight timelines.At 10K Takes Media, work centered on supporting sponsor relationships and branded content tied to live events and community initiatives, ensuring partners were integrated in ways that felt intentional rather than disruptive. Earlier roles in professional and collegiate sports provided hands-on experience with sponsorship fulfillment, fan engagement, and day-to-day operational support, strengthening an understanding of how partnerships show up from the inside.Time spent in sales-adjacent roles added a practical layer to that experience, sharpening communication skills, CRM fluency, and an understanding of how partnerships are sold versus how they are delivered. That perspective has helped bridge gaps between sales, marketing, and creative teams, keeping expectations aligned from pitch through execution.A strong interest in sports culture and storytelling shapes how partnerships are approached. The most effective work happens when brands complement the voice of the platform and respect the intelligence of the audience. Strengths include collaboration, attention to detail, and the ability to keep projects moving without losing sight of the bigger picture.
