I would suggest that even when contacting "global" sponsors, you would really only be contacting the local arm of the global corporation, eg Coca-Cola Enterprises Ltd (in Uxbridge) rather than The Coca-Cola Company (Atlanta)
(Though since Atlanta is the home of coke, that is probably why the atlanta bid put them at the top of the list)

Shouldn't global sponsors being contacted once by WMF, rather than individually by each bid? If I were Coca-Cola I would get very annoyed at lots of requests for sponsorship by the same people, only one of which actually happens.

probably. it certainly makes more sense for you to focus on local sponsors.
