I need a sponsorship departmentCanada-wide · built to work across markets
Your outsourced sponsorship department.
Built to earn, deliver and renew.
FirstShow packages, sells, activates and renews sponsorships for events, organizations, creators, venues and programs—without you building an internal sponsorship team.

Sell the fit
Deliver the value
For properties with an audience
You have something worth sponsoring.
You may have an event, league, association, venue, creator platform, community program or media property. We turn its audience, access and ideas into a clear sponsorship offer, then run the work required to sell and deliver it.
Who is behind FirstShow
Led by Ahmed Mahmoud.
FirstShow is operated by ZalaStack Inc. Based in Canada, we work with sponsorship properties and brand teams across markets. Ahmed remains accountable from the first conversation through the agreed work.

See opportunities that fit.
Tell us the audiences, markets and outcomes that matter to you. We bring relevant, approved opportunities with clear rights, costs and a delivery plan.
I represent a sponsorNo property, placement, audience or result is promised before the owner, sponsor, rights, costs and delivery plan are confirmed in writing.
What makes sponsorship sellable
Turn attention into a clear business opportunity.
Sponsors need more than a logo placement. We define the audience, the rights, the useful role a sponsor can play and the proof each side will receive.
- Credible audience and reach evidence
- Specific assets, rights and category boundaries
- Commercial structure tied to a defined opportunity
- Activation and reporting sponsors can trust
