Jakprints, Printing and Merch Sponsor
Full color printing, apparel printing and sticker printing
Jakprints has been on board since the moment of Ice Cream Man's inception. One of the ways we spread the word about Ice Cream Man is by giving away free stickers with every frozen treat. On the back of the sticker is information about Ice Cream Man as well as Jakprints, plus a trackable promotional code that has generated almost $100,000 in revenue over three years of sponsorship. Jakprints also prints our custom ice cream boxes, business cards, vinyl vehicle stickers, and Off the Wookie (our magazine).

Proud Partners
Nike, Partner
Put these on your feet!
We had a big year with Nike this year. It began on 8/8/2008 with the Nike sponsored 88 BoaDrum in LA and NYC. They had 88 drummers play for 88 minutes starting at 8:08pm. Next up was MusicFest NorthWest (MFNW) in Portland, a huge indie music festival that we hit up last year as well. To finish out the year, we'll be at Art Basel in Miami from December 4-7. Come find us!
Sony PlayStation, Partner
Gaming at its finest
While at Virgin Mobile Music Festival in Baltimore I ran into Ginger with PlayStation. We talked about different events they were doing where free ice cream would be a good addition and she mentioned the Playstation Pro AST Dew Tour in Orlando. Newt was already in the hood so we loaded up almost 3000 free creams and slung cream to the crew, athletes, and everyone else backstage. check the review out here.
Busy Beaver Buttons, Partner
You like our buttons? These guys make 'em.
At Pitchfork Festival in 2008 we ran into the folks at Busy Beaver Buttons. Christen noticed our "YOUR LOGO HERE" sticker on the ice cream truck and emailed to mention she'd like to help us out with some buttons. In less than 48 hours Busy Beaver printed up around 10,000 buttons for Lollapalooza. Check them out at www.busybeaver.net for all your button needs.

Past Sponsors
Levi's, Past Primary Sponsor
A style for every story
While in Austin for South by Southwest 2007, we gave away a ton of ice cream at the Levi's/Fader Fort Party. Sheri, who works with Levi's, took a step outside, saw all of the happy people with ice cream and said, "We should talk when you get back to LA."
Since then, we've been helping each other out. We've given away ice cream at Levi’s showrooms, Levi's Stores, and Levi's events throughout the country, including 501 Day in Santa Monica, CA.
Guitar Center, Past Sponsor
Making music happen
Guitar Center was on board with Ice Cream Man from near the beginning. During that time we hit up Guitar Center stores around the country as well as GC sponsored events like their annual Drum Off, Spin Off and King of the Blues shows.
