The relationship between the Festival and event sponsors is a mutually beneficial partnership, which supports our work, and promotes your business. Sponsorship of an event during the Festival enables you to support your community, benefit your employees and enhance your business profile.
There are considerable marketing and PR benefits
for event sponsors:
Introduce your business to 80,000 people through promotion in the Festival brochure with your logo on the inside cover, and in a dedicated space next to your event. The brochure is mailed to 10,000 arts attenders, with an ABC1 profile and is distributed widely across the local area, East Kent and the South East region.
Sponsors of large events are credited in the nightly programmes, with opportunities to include a welcome message from your business.
Freestanding publicity signs highlighting the sponsor’s name and logo are placed at the public entrance at the events.
Sponsors are allocated a generous number of complimentary tickets for the sponsored event to entertain clients and employees.
Attractive advertising packages are available in the Festival brochure and nightly programmes.
All sponsors receive a priority booking service across all Festival events.
‘Strutt & Parker very much view their sponsorship of the festival as giving something back to the community that has enabled us to grow our business. We also take the view that the quality of our business sponsorship sits very well alongside the high calibre of presentation that the festival offers in all the art forms, but more particularly with classical music concerts in the Cathedral.’ Simon Backhouse, Partner, Strutt & Parker
