Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

Create a sponsorship package and support the development of a sponsorship plan of action for Live Music On Yonge, our free community music series. This event is undertaken in partnership with a local arts organization supporting emerging artists, and takes place in the fall at 5 locations along our main street area over 3-4 weeks.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
  • Research sponsorship packages online for similar events and festivals including what types of content and marketing materials are included, and pricing models.
  • Draft a tiered sponsorship package that is visually appealing and aligned with our interim branding in software such as Canva. The sponsorship package should be formatted so that it is easy to adjust and rebrand each year.
  • Put together a list of potential sponsors within our district to approach and include a potential contact person or starting point where available.
  • A smaller component of the research would be to investigate potential leads for companies that facilitate connecting sponsors with opportunities.
  • Incorporate input and suggestion from our Marketing & Economic Development Manager.
