TESTIMONIALS
George Marlatte
Retired Senior Vice President, Prairie Region, Scotiabank
“I have had a professional marketing relationship with Mark for over 15 years centering around a large naming rights sponsorship involving the Calgary Flames. Mark understands both sales and marketing but perhaps more importantly the importance of Service. He is an exceptional listener. I have no hesitation in endorsing Mark."
Brent Barootes
President and CEO, Partnership Group Sponsorship - Specialists®
“I’ve known Mark for over 25 years, from his early career development as play by play broadcaster and corporate sales magician for the Calgary Hitmen at their start up days to his growth in the Calgary Flames organization up to Senior Director Sponsorship where he led the Flames sponsorship sales and fulfilment teams for all properties under the Calgary Sports and Entertainment Group umbrella. Mark is more than a great sales guy and partnership guru. He is an all-around great guy who works to deliver results for every partner he has signed. Any deal Mark does is a win-win scenario. You’re in great hands with Mark and M3 Sports. He’ll deliver results.”
Michael Piper
Zone Director (former) CARSTAR Canada
“I have worked closely with Mark Stiles during his time with National Hockey League to support our aggressive branding and fundraising campaign in Western Canada. Mark is incredibly proactive and often was able to anticipate our needs due to the ongoing relationship building that he engaged with not only our corporate team but also our Franchisees in the market. Mark has extensive knowledge of the sports and entertainment space and was a key part of our success in reaching and exceeding our charitable work with Cystic Fibrosis Canada alongside NHL defenseman, TJ Brodie. I wholeheartedly recommend Mark and his group to my professional and personal network”

“I have known Mark for 25 years; in fact, we started our careers with the Calgary Hitmen on the same day in September 1997. Mark’s passion and enthusiasm is unmatched. His expectations of himself and those around him are based on excellence, detail, and providing what is best for those he represents. He is a genuine soul and gentleman but is also not afraid to dig in on what he believes in. He is a true friend and professional and a person I rely on for honest and direct feedback.”

“Mark's experience and skills are hard to find these days. He is a bona fide "hunter" in sales not a farmer or gatherer and that is a rare find. One of his strengths is that he listens, he takes the time to learn about me, the client, and what my needs are. He then uses that information to guide our journey together. His approach is to roll up his sleeves and get to work for me. He never presents me with challenges or problems, but rather solutions or opportunities.”
