ATLANTA, GA (September 15, 2010) -

TopRight is pleased to announce that Guy Nielsen has joined TopRight as Managing Partner. Guy will lead the firm’s newly launched Sponsorship practice and oversee TopRight’s overall strategic marketing consulting business in the Northeast Region.

According to Dave Sutton, Founding Partner of TopRight, “Guy’s Fortune 200 CMO experience and success with transforming marketing and communications organizations around the world really strengthens our consulting offerings. We are thrilled to have him on board to help us drive our ambitious growth goals.”

TopRight launched the sponsorship practice in response to two main trends, namely the growing importance multinational companies place on sports and entertainment sponsorships to drive their brand and business objectives, and the unprecedented demand for credible and comprehensive metrics to help companies clearly understand the impact of their sponsorship investment.
