UTAH The Best Kind of Team-Up The Utah Jazz join forces with a software giant. A unique partnership between the Utah Jazz and Qualtrics will call attention to a global campaign that invites everyone to donate $5 to cancer research. Qualtrics will be the team’s jersey patch partner in a first-of-its-kind partnership among North American professional sports teams. Rather than placing the company’s logo on the jersey for the 2017-2018 season, Qualtrics is sponsoring the patch in the name of its charity — 5 for the Fight—to raise funds to accelerate the pace of innovative cancer research. Qualtrics will sponsor the patch and the Utah Jazz will integrate the groundbreaking effort to support cancer research into other highly visible Jazz platforms, such as in-game signage and activities, digital and social media content, and arena signage and broadcasting. Qualtrics, a Utah-based company that is the world’s leading customer experience management software, will also become the team’s exclusive Fan Experience Insights and Analytics partner. “The Utah Jazz and Qualtrics are excited to form a partnership that will both transform the fan experience and make a tangible contribution to eradicating cancer by supporting some of the most important research being done today,” said Jazz President Steve Starks. “In addition, our partnership with Qualtrics will help us leverage greater analytics and innovation to take our team performance, employee engagement, and fan experience to a whole new level.” ◆ CALIFORNIA New Dealership Unveiled in California LHM Dealerships welcomes the Group’s latest acquisition.
