I reside in one of the entertainment capitals of the world, Orlando FL, and have had so many grand experiences not only because I live there but because I am an event manager there. The variety of events that happen on the daily not only require creativity but also business acumen. Whether it’s a small event or on a much bigger scale, the day-of logistics are just about the same.
Even so, many of us in the industry know that there are several components involved when it comes to marketing an event amongst plenty others. One of which includes leveraging sponsors. That is why I am suggesting this book; it is a phenomenal guide to acquiring sponsors for any of your events AND is an easy read.
Plain and simple, events cost money, and so being able to pitch correctly to big business not only help you cover costs but help you reach a much bigger audience. A top brand gives credibility and therefore makes the task of promoting an event easier, thus helping scale it’s turnout. In this day and age whether your event is live or virtual, the book is a great tool in making it successful and enjoyable for guests and sponsors alike. The book is great for referencing back to whenever you decide to plan an event of your own as well. The author speaks from her own experience on how she was able to acquire her first $10,000 sponsor and build a highly anticipated event in New York. Besides having actionable steps, another reason I highly recommend SPONSORED is because it can be accompanied with a course/membership to support you in securing those brands.
