PHOENIX, AZ – The Arizona Interscholastic Association (AIA) announced today that the association has renewed its relationship with Playfly Sports Properties with a new 10-year exclusive marketing and multimedia rights partnership, effective July 1, 2021.

Playfly Sports will continue to build on the foundation of the AIA’s marketing and media opportunities. This outreach is one of the premier in the country as Arizona was the first state to be a multimedia rights association property. AIA and Playfly will focus on creating new innovations that bring value-added opportunities for current and potential corporate partners designed to enhance their brand and align with the AIA’s mission through traditional and digital media opportunities.

Playfly will also seek, along with the AIA, in-venue and event sponsorships, promotions, corporate hospitality, and deliver unique branding opportunities for sponsor engagement both in-venue, as well as on the AIA radio network, television, AZPreps365.com and the AZPreps365 Live free app. Included with the partnership, Playfly will also make strategic capital investments to improve the overall experience for AIA member schools, students, coaches, officials, the corporate community and fans.

“Playfly is that partner that we know we can turn to in helping to connect our schools to their fans and community supporters,” said David Hines, Executive Director of the Arizona Interscholastic Association. “We look forward to continuing to work with Playfly’s dynamic and creative leadership team as we reenergize the AIA and deepen our relationships with those that are instrumental in keeping prep sports integral around the state.”
