PREMIER PARTNERSHIPS TO LEAD SPONSORSHIP SALES FOR BIKE SHARE PROGRAMS MANAGED BY CYCLEHOP

For Immediate Release: LOS ANGELES, CA

Sponsorship Agency to Offer Naming Rights to Bike Share Systems in Five Top 20 Markets.

CycleHop, a leading operator of major municipal bike share programs throughout North America, announced today that Premier Partnerships (Premier) has been named to exclusively represent CycleHop-operated bike share systems in five Top 20 markets: Los Angeles/Long Beach, Phoenix, Atlanta, Tampa-St. Petersburg and Orlando.

“We are thrilled to partner with Premier, whose track record of securing sponsorships for prestige properties will help us serve fast-growing municipal bike share programs in some of the nation’s most dynamic markets,” said Josh Squire, CEO of CycleHop.

In recent years, dozens of cities have invested in bike share infrastructure to extend their transit systems and reduce congestion by enabling short-distance, point-to-point trips for commuters, students and tourists. Primarily stationed in busy commercial centers and college campuses, the bikes specially designed for these systems double as mobile billboards. Several leading brands, including Blue Cross, Citibank, Hulu and Nike, have capitalized on the valuable sponsorship opportunities presented by bike share by acquiring naming rights to systems.

“We are excited to offer top-tier brands the opportunity to sponsor a popular, sustainable, healthy and highly visible transportation option,” said Randy Bernstein, President and CEO of Premier. “As they have in other markets, major national and regional brands will value the prominence, exclusivity and civic partnerships that come with acquiring naming rights to bike share systems.”
