Norfolk, VA (September 1, 2021) – ODU Athletics and Playfly Sports Properties, LLC are proud to announce a multi-year partnership with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services as “A Proud Real Estate Partner of ODU Athletics.” This partnership will be highlighted during the football and basketball seasons and include various custom platforms, including the Howard Hanna Move of the Game and the Howard Hanna Home Team Colors programs.
Kicking off this football season, Howard Hanna will be the presenting sponsor of a unique sideline experience known as the Howard Hanna Move of the Game program. This program allows fans to enter online to win two tickets to watch a select quarter of a home game from the sidelines, ultimately upgrading their game-time real estate.
“Howard Hanna is one of the most respected brands in the country,” said Dr. Camden Wood Selig, ODU Athletic Director. “It is always a goal of ODU athletics to partner with like-minded companies and brands in order to co-brand and co-promote each other to a wider audience while maximizing the synergy from such a partnership. This sponsorship will be a win-win for Howard Hanna and ODU athletics.”
Howard Hanna will also be the sponsor of the Howard Hanna Home Team Colors social media posts and email blasts. On Fridays throughout the season, this program provides communications of the preferred color of game attire to ODU fans for each home game.
Howard Hanna is not only proud to support ODU Athletics as they play local teams this football season, but also as they travel to play teams in other markets we serve, including Buffalo, Charlotte, and Winston-Salem.
“As the local real estate leader, we are proud to be partners with the local leader in higher education and collegiate athletics,” said Dennis Cestra, Jr., President of Southeast Region, Howard Hanna Real Estate Services. “ODU Athletics is a premier provider of sports entertainment for Hampton Roads. We are very excited to enhance our brands and products together. An investment at this level reinforces our commitment to the community, the university, and the many clients, sales associates, and stakeholders who are ODU alumni and supporters.”
