Sponsorship and packages: How it works

We work very closely with our partner’s marketing teams to ensure that brand guidelines are adhered to.

Partner’s branding is included in marketing and PR material including e-shots, newsletters, event invitations, Director magazine and event branding.

The Awards have a dedicated Marketing & PR team to work closely with our partners on the marketing plan and activation of the sponsorship.

In the run up to the Awards night, our logistics team will work with our partners on their table plans, guest lists and also on the night.

We want to position our partners as thought leaders in their fields, therefore we ask for material and content to push out to our audiences throughout the year, this can be in the form of newsletters, white papers, webinars and TV/Radio pieces.

Partners are asked to provide a director-level representative to join the judging panel of their sponsored category. We understand that in some cases this can cause professional conflicts of interest, in which case we would move your judge to another category.
