At Paul Poole (South East Asia) Co., Ltd. and our subsidiary, Asia Sponsorship News Co., Ltd. (ASN), we are often asked a simple but important question: How do you source your sponsor and partner contact details?

It is a reasonable query. In a field where relationships underpin almost every opportunity, access matters. Yet our response is not just about the people we know. It’s about the systems, research practices, and accumulated experience that have shaped our work for more than two decades. These foundations allow us to build connections that are relevant, ethically gathered, and commercially meaningful.
