Andy Dallin has more than twenty years experience in the sports and sponsorship marketing industry. He’s been fortunate to work for some of the very best in the business and credits his early experience selling for the Golden State Warriors as the foundation for his professional development. He held several positions at the Warriors and ultimately was responsible for all sales and marketing efforts. During his time with the Warriors, Andy was part of an exceptional team that oversaw a string of 250 consecutive sold out games.

Following his tenure with the Warriors, Andy joined a San Francisco-based sponsorship marketing agency (The Wilkinson Group) and worked with various clients including Pacific Bell, Fresno State University, Clorox, Marine World Africa U.S.A. and the California Milk Advisory Board. On behalf of Fresno State University, he helped create the record setting collegiate naming rights partnership for the new on-campus venue, the SaveMart Center.

Andy then helped launch the Pete Newell Challenge, a unique collegiate basketball event which has featured Duke, Kansas, Stanford, Cal, North Carolina, and Indiana among its line-up of teams. In only its second year of existence, the Newell set a California state attendance record (19,267) for college basketball.

Over the past several years Andy has led projects at all levels of sports, including major (NBA Memphis Grizzlies), minor (Triple-A Sacramento River Cats, Fresno Grizzlies, and Albuquerque Isotopes) and collegiate (University of California, Berkeley).

In 2002, Andy co-founded ADC Partners, an agency focused on providing strategic solutions for sports businesses and corporate sponsors. With ADC Partners co-founder Dave Almy, Andy has improved the business performance of several corporate sponsors and properties. ADC clients include the American Automobile Association, Amtrak, Blue Shield of California, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Memphis Grizzlies and several universities including U.C. Berkeley, San Diego State and U.C. Davis.
