As a high-quality, high-profile event, the Festival builds pride and status in the community, inspires creative and artistic initiatives and projects a strongly positive image of Tasmania to the world.
The Festival attracts thousands of visitors to Hobart and other parts of the state and provides a range of business and promotional opportunities. As a Festival sponsor and partner, your business is closely and visibly linked to all these positive benefits. We’d like to discuss the partnership arrangements that we seek and the benefits we offer.
Corporate sponsors can be involved in a wide variety of ways, from forging major long-term partnerships in our international program to the simple option of in-kind assistance to a festival activity. We are keen and willing to tailor the scope and scale of a sponsorship arrangement to suit the particular needs of each of our corporate partners.
We can also organise a range of benefits to acknowledge the valued involvement of corporate sponsors – from major project naming rights to product launch opportunities. Each potential corporate sponsor has different needs and expectations – let’s get together to work out a package that best suits your business.
