Details of 2009 Awards sponsorship
As an award sponsor, your organisation will share the spotlight before, during, and after the event. You will also have a public association with the global movement towards effective and clear communication.
What sponsorship involves
Sponsoring an award in the 2009 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.
The WriteMark New Zealand Plain English Awards have become an acknowledged and widely-publicised annual event. The Awards recognise New Zealand's best plain English organisations and the prestigious sponsors that make the Awards possible.
In 2008 the Awards achieved the highest level of media coverage in their history for both the event and the sponsors. Past sponsors have reported highly positive reactions to their involvement in the Awards. They have seen their profile lifted significantly with a select audience of public and private sector decision makers. Many sponsors have directly benefited in terms of increased business or improved customer relationships.
Sponsor numbers are limited. Specific opportunities and costs are included in our sponsorship brochure.
