ABOUT IDEAQUEST
Founded in 2001
Welcome to Team IdeaQuest (IQ), founded in 2001 by 30+ year industry veteran Eric Bechtel, with a mission to launch an innovative sales and marketing solutions agency, to support companies from Startups to Fortune 100. The agency was created out of the realization that many corporations lacked parallel strategic marketing and sales plans to fully negotiate and maximize their sports and entertainment investments.
The IQ team of subject matter experts understand the strategic business and revenue-generating power of sponsorships to drive sales and ultimately market share for our partners. With personalized approaches tailored to your objectives, IQ empowers brands through thoughtful analysis to unlock the full potential of their investments and delivering value.

At every opportunity, we help our clients create value.
As CMO of a Fortune 100 company, when our organization decided to make strategic investments in sports marketing, I knew we needed help to navigate these waters. We found the perfect partner for this journey with IdeaQuest. From the beginning, Eric Bechtel and the entire IdeaQuest team was fully committed to building a strategic relationship with our company. Their approach was well aligned to our own culture of having immediate impact and delivering near-term results with an eye toward an ambitious long-term vision. They became a part of our team, invested time to learn our business and helped design strategies to address our objectives around brand, market awareness, relevance and growth. Their contributions spanned all aspects of our sports marketing efforts from planning and design through deal-making and execution. The IdeaQuest team quickly earned my trust and respect, and they continue to raise the bar every day. Their expertise is unique, talent immense, relationships remarkable and characters impeccable.
Former CMO of Johnson Controls
In the 30 plus years that Eric and I have been friends and worked together, he has always been the most caring, honest, kind and forthright person I have ever known. As a consultant for 24 Hour Fitness, and even today, his integrity is of the highest standard, his ability to perform and deliver exceptional work, and his friendship, is just priceless.
Founder of 24 Hour Fitness and Chairman of New Evolution Ventures
Eric has been an integral part of our success. One of his many talents is his ability to connect people because they trust him and he is the single most connected human on the planet. He is one degree of separation, not six, to anyone and everyone and we are thrilled to have him on our team.
