New York, NY (October 02, 2018) – Doosan, a global leader in the Infrastructure Support Business, and official partner of MLB is proud to announce the company will be the presenting sponsor of the 2018 National League Division Series (NLDS). Having been the presenting sponsor of the American League Division Series (ALDS) in 2017, this marks the second year of Doosan’s MLB Postseason involvement. The brand will receive significant exposure across national broadcast and MLB-owned channels along with in-stadium brand integration throughout the series.
Throughout the Postseason, fans will continue to see Doosan commercials and branding across broadcast and digital platforms including FOX, FS1, MLB Network and MLB.com. Additionally, MLB and Doosan will create custom features for MLB Network and league digital channels. Doosan will also give fans exclusive access to select NLDS batting practices and press conferences in real-time via Facebook Live.
“We are honored to be an official partner of MLB. Our partnership is nearly a year old, and we’ve seen those efforts help to build additional brand awareness and business opportunities for Doosan in the U.S.,” said Edward Song, Head of Doosan Infracore North America. “We’re excited to be a part of the NLDS and Postseason action again this year, and to give fans access to exclusive NLDS content, Doosan stories and more.”
The Doosan and MLB partnership extends through the end of the 2020 MLB season, with Doosan set to receive branding, media and hospitality benefits throughout the regular season and within MLB Jewel Events including the All-Star Game, Postseason and World Series.
Doosan’s subsidiaries, which reside in the U.S., account for $3 billion (US) in annual revenue and have approximately 4,000 employees, participated in this partnership in hopes of elevating Doosan’s brand awareness in the U.S. market and closely communicating with customers.
