Sponsorship & Exhibition

Sponsorship and events go hand-in-hand, yet the word on the street is that it is hard to secure funding for events... or does the outcome depend on how you ask?

For many clients securing sponsorship or asking for money from external companies is a task they would rather avoid... but the reality is that for many it is also a revenue generating tool that is needed if the event is to be financially viable.

Fortunately 360 Degree Events thrive on the opportunities that sponsorship procurement and management creates. They believe that sponsorship is about strategic alignments that deliver a win:win:win outcome. That is; the event wins by way of external support which can come in several forms, the sponsor wins by way of exposure and leverage opportunities and the event attendees win by way of an experience or offer made possible by the partnership with the sponsor.

Traditionally sponsorship results in a financial injection or as a 'contra' delivery of products or services, but with creative sponsorship leverage packages the alignments created under the umbrella of 'sponsorship' can significantly assist the entire event management process.

360 Degree Events offer a full sponsorship procurement and management service. This includes (but is not limited to) working with you to identify what benefits you can offer to a sponsor, the creation of sponsorship proposals, identifying and approaching potential sponsors, negotiating package inclusions, overseeing the delivery of sponsors benefits leading up to and during the event and managing the relationship to ensure the win:win:win outcomes intended.

Exhibitionists welcome!

Exhibitions (also called Expos) can be stand-alone events or they can be part of a conference or workshop style event. The decision to incorporate an exhibition into an event may be driven by an event objective to showcase a particular industry or interest, or it may be to provide an additional revenue stream for an event. Either way exhibitions and expos are an essential part of many companies marketing campaigns; they are used to launch new products, showcase product ranges, sell off end of season stock, build databases of potential clients and more. 

Around the world exhibitions and expos make up a significant number of large scale events held annually. Managing Director of 360 Degree Events, Karen Hamilton has been fortunate to have had the opportunity to work on a myriad of large scale exhibitions in Australia, Canada, Europe, USA and of course in New Zealand.
