SPONSORSHIP STRATEGY

Sponsorship Strategy

Sponsorship has changed. It is no longer about logos plastered all over the place or tiered gold / silver / bronze sponsorship packages. Sponsorship today is about relationships, strategy, activation, amplification and quantifiable results.

We’ll help you SPARK HIGH-VALUE RELATIONSHIPS with dynamic and memorable sponsorship programs and activations.

We’ll help you focus on sponsorship programs that are spilling over with synergy and engagement that are based on helping you build long-term relationships with committed partners.

WAYS TO WORK WITH US ON SPONSORSHIP INCLUDE:

Sponsorship Audit

A 360◦ evaluation that examines the health and relevance of your current sponsorship program. This report-card style evaluation and report establishes a baseline of where you are right now versus where you want to be. The audit will identify strengths to build on, areas to improve, prospecting tactics, and recommend adjustments to your current strategy that will help you build strong partnerships with sponsors.

Sponsorship Asset Valuation

An inventory of your assets to allow you to reposition your offering as a much-sought after and marketable property that represents a strong match with potential corporate partners.

Sponsorship Strategy

The foundation of any sophisticated sponsorship program is the strategy. Using data-informed decision-making, we develop sponsorship strategies designed to help you attract long-term partners.

Sponsorship Packages, Proposals, and Contracts

We don’t do bronze / silver / gold sponsorship offerings. Instead, we create high-value, desirable and customized activations that reflect today’s business reality and engage brands. We also make sure that all the “i”s are dotted and “t”s are crossed in your sponsorship agreements and contracts, offer guidance on negotiation strategies, and help clients optimize their portfolio of offerings to appeal to partners.

Sponsorship Servicing, Fulfillment & Relationship Management

We’ll nurture your sponsor relationships and set you up for successful renewals by ensuring that all contracted sponsor deliverables are met, sponsors are kept in the know, and your sponsors are getting great results through the partnership. We also prepare sponsorship fulfillment reports and analyze sponsorship data and metrics for reporting back to partners. Sponsorship servicing is so much more than boozy lunches and VIP invites!

Connecting Brands & Properties

We help brands find the sponsorable property that is the right fit for their marketing objectives, values, and budget putting strategies in place to match brands with organizations and events who can provide valuable partnership opportunities.

Activation Planning, Gamification, & Execution

There is nothing we love more than creating a unique brand activation and bringing it to life. This is the fun part of sponsorship marketing! We get jazzed about making audiences happy, building memorable activations, employing gamification techniques, and other activation tactics that wow both audiences and sponsors.

Grant Writing

We’ll help you secure new sources of revenue with funding partners, apply for grants, and prepare fulfillment reports. Our killer grant writing skills will include background research and a proposal that makes the case for how the impact of the potential funding will be measured and realized.

At Marriott International, we appreciate it when the events and marketing team comes to us with ready-made sponsorable activations at an event.

Krista Benoit of iSPARK Consulting is genius at this.

On numerous occasions she’s created custom event activations for Marriott that provide creative ways for our brand to stand out. iSPARK does all the heavy lifting for us, from coming up with an idea, sourcing equipment and props, and even staffing it onsite at the event. They follow it up with an integrated marketing plan that permeates through the event and attracts people to our brand. We love this approach!
