Advertising and sponsorship opportunities

Some 2 million people come through the doors of the Frontier Airlines Center, U.S. Cellular Arena and Milwaukee Theatre every year, and untold numbers drive, ride or walk past the facilities in their daily travels, providing abundant opportunities inside and out to make targeted advertising impressions. Vehicles for this advertising range from TV ads running in rotation on plasma video screens in the public areas of the Frontier Airlines Center, to lighted signage in the U.S. Cellular Arena concourses and scoreboard, to "title sponsorship" of entire facilities or interior spaces. If you'd like to reach convention attendees, event patrons or the many thousands of others who use our facilities, and want to learn more about the advertising and sponsorship opportunities, media and markets we offer, please contact Richard Freiberg at 414.908.6056 or Rfreiberg@wcd.org.

MillerCoors grew from the dreams of two German entrepreneurs who came to America in the mid-19th century. Miller Brewing Company began when a determined young brewer, Frederick J. Miller, brought his passion for beer to the United States.  Miller settled in Milwaukee, where in 1855 he bought the Plank Road Brewery and made his first delicious beer, using yeast that he had carried with him all the way from Europe. Coors Brewing Company tapped its first barrel in 1873, when Adolph Coors opened The Golden Brewery in Colorado. Coors was born in Prussia and apprenticed at a brewery in his teens. With characteristic spirit, he stowed away on a ship to get to America and bring his brewing dream to life.

At MillerCoors, we now begin our own history. We have two wonderful traditions. And now, our talents, energies and ingenuity come together to form one promising company.  For more information visit www.millercoors.com.
