With so much focus on AI, data, and other emerging and rapidly improving technologies, the challenge for sponsors and rightsholders alike is how to embrace the new tech and media landscape, while preserving what makes sponsorship such a powerful marketing tool.
Optimising your sponsorship results means balancing analysis and creativity, empathy and jaw-dropping tech, deep dives and shortcuts. For sponsors, the result is stronger, more measurable outcomes, finding efficiencies without compromising effectiveness, engendering advocacy, and building brand love. For rightsholders, the result is more revenue, happier, more engaged sponsors, multi-year deals, easier renewals, and becoming a preferred partner.
These workshops have been fully updated, with loads of new strategies, angles, and case studies.
The 2025 Power Sponsorship Workshops will take place in both Australia and New Zealand.
