Description

In this live SocialNext Toronto 2025 conversation, guest host Maddie Alvarez sits down with Nithya Ramachandran, President and CSO at T1, a full-stack sponsorship and experience agency. Together, they unpack why modern sponsorships are more than logo slaps and check-writing, they’re strategic growth levers built on trust, collaboration, and meaningful activation.

Nithya breaks down how brands can use partnerships to reach audiences in ways media alone can’t, why asking “why” is a marketer’s most powerful tool, and how the best campaigns are built on shared values, not just shared budgets.


If you’ve ever wondered how to make sponsorships actually work (and prove their ROI), this conversation is a masterclass in modern partnership marketing.
