"In the future, we will be taking part in fewer global sponsorship projects, and instead will be putting greater emphasis on regional commitments. We have been cultivating this approach for several years. Some current examples are: the Salzburg Festival in 2006, the Bolshoi Theatre and New York Philharmonic in 2007, and the National Gallery in 2008." "Credit Suisse was a sponsor of the Sauber Petronas Formula One team from 2001 to 2005. BMW's takeover of the team in early 2006 united a long tradition in motorsports with proven efficiency and innovative ideas. In 2007, the BMW Sauber F1 Team established itself in the top three of Formula One in only its second year of existence. I however like this bit the best: "The 2008 season was the most successful season to date, highlighted by the team's victory at the Canadian Grand Prix. We believe the team is on the right path, and consequently now is an appropriate time to say goodbye." This is what Credit Suisse had to say:

An internal review found "mismarkings and pricing errors" in their structured credit trading business. As far as no sponsors at all? If things continue maybe their won't be :) . Seriously though, those days are long gone. Indeed Credit Suisse has been hurt that way, but also other suspicions.

I'm not surprised if they're backing off sponsorships. I still miss the days when cars had no sponsorship whatsoever. <abbr><em>Murphs last blog post..<a href="http://www.bmwblog.com/2009/01/21/which-snow-tires-should-i-buy/" rel="nofollow">Which snow tires should I buy?</a></abbr></em> Wasn’t Credit Suisse hit pretty hard by the real estate bubble bursting followed by the rapid downward spiral of the global economy?
