FUNDING APPLICATIONS
There is a skill to writing successful funding applications, and having written a fair few in my time which has contributed to raising funds for the likes of NZ Ski, Queenstown Winter Festival, Cyclorama e-bike festival, Snoop Dogg’s I want to thank me tour, Netsky & friends concert, First We Eat and Flavours of Plenty Festival, I have a good idea to what those skills are.
Understanding the industry, reasoning for investment and limitations to the funding pot are at the top of the list, and you’re in safe hands with me.
Funding applications carry a flat fee of $1500 +gst.
SPONSORSHIP & ALIGNMENT
As part of your extended events family - you want to keep your sponsors on board, right? That relationship needs to be nourished from both sides.
Having held workshops for sponsors to encourage creative thinking surrounding event leverage, I know that there is always more they can give. Out with the old 1-1 rule, and in with more collaborative thinking.
Some options could include:
A workshop with your team to understand best practice sponsorship - diverting the heavy lifting to the sponsor in order to reach their own objectives
A leverage workshop with your sponsors, helping them think outside the box
A workshop with your team to come up with creative ways to elevate your sponsor inclusions that can then be presented to your sponsors
A look over your sponsor contracts to ensure you are capturing as many benefits as possible
The perfect alignment is not rocket science, activating your brand within or alongside an existing event can be the perfect partnership.
Activations can bring vibrancy and footfall, but also align a brand’s ethos with a larger audience which can bring many benefits including:
brand visibility - targeted marketing - consumer perception - sales goals - content strategy - audience insights - business relationships - return of investment
Access all those new eyes, go on - do it.
Sponsorship proposals, idea creation, the right collaboration, meaningful content - I’ll help you with it all.
