part of recently hired Chief Marketing and Revenue Officer Michael
Lynch’s team, Ferguson will help lead the process of securing
sponsorship marketing partners.
“This is an unprecedented time in the sport’s history and we are
fortunate to have someone with Liam’s extensive experience and
capabilities join the team,” Lynch said. “Liam has an excellent rapport
with sponsorship and marketing individuals in both endemic and

the global pro surf league”, continued Lynch. “Liam represents exactly
the type of leader we need to help bring in the right partners and help
them become part of surfing history. The high-level action and
incredible lifestyles of the world’s best surfers have organically
developed the ASP into the singular lens through which fans enjoy and
experience surfing. The aggregation of the sport and the ASP’s
newly-acquired ability to activate sponsorship, marketing and media on a
