Details of 2008 sponsorship

As an award sponsor, your organisation will share the spotlight before, during, and after the event.

What sponsorship involves

Sponsoring an award in the 2008 Plain English Awards is about buying the right to associate your organisation with the Awards. The presentation event will offer excellent opportunities to connect with a target audience and to raise your organisation’s profile.

For an investment of $10,000, your business name can be linked to one of the categories in the 2008 Plain English Awards.

Promotion of the Awards

As an award sponsor, your organisation will share the exposure created by our promotional campaign.

Together with Communiqué, a public relations company, we are promoting the 2008 Plain English Awards by:

sending out regular email updates to a large database of New Zealand public and private sector organisations
mailing a glossy promotional ‘teaser’
issuing nationwide media releases
developing free editorial, news stories, and interviews for radio and television
offering feature story ideas for newsletters and information materials produced by WriteMark award sponsors
maintaining this Awards website with links to sponsor websites.

Last year’s WriteMark New Zealand Plain English Conference and Awards attracted:

two separate promotions on Fair Go
interviews on National Radio with two of the conference keynote speakers
press coverage of award winners.

We expect a similar or greater amount of media interest in the 2008 Plain English Awards.
