Slingshot formalises its Sponsorship Sessions
Posted by
Slingshot Sponsorship has announce it has expanded its Slingshot Sponsorship Bootcamp training to now provide full day, in-depth Sponsorship Sessions held each month in London. The sole aim of the Sponsorship Sessions will be to provide teams the necessary tools to increase commercial capacity within sponsorship for their event, charity, association, sports team, or online network.
By working in a small team, industry expert Jackie Fast (MD of Slingshot Sponsorship) will create a tailored training programme for each attendee in order to help pinpoint challenges and create strategies and tools to overcome them.
Jackie Fast commented: “Unfortunately, typical sponsorship training and education often fails to address the different challenges organisations face when tackling sponsorship. To be successful, one needs to really question these variables in order to recommend the right sponsorship strategy. The Sponsorship Sessions allow us to do this by working in very small groups with a format that encompasses absolutely everything teams need to learn to truly develop commercially. The success we have had with our training programme has even shocked me – having helped raise £1.27m additional sponsorship revenue for our attendees in the last three years alone. Having kept our Bootcamp under wraps for the last three years, I am absolutely thrilled to be bringing this training scheme out to the masses!”
The Sponsorship Sessions combine the need for high level training at the cost of attending a conference – ensuring that attendees walk away with a clear direction on how to build the right sponsorship programme for their organisation. Previous Slingshot Sponsorship Bootcamp attendee Charlene Asamoah, Corporate Fundraising Manager from Parkinson’s UK commented: “It was absolutely amazing bringing Slingshot Sponsorship to Parkinson’s UK and I truly believe it was one of the best things I have done whilst working here. Our entire team have changed dramatically and it’s all for the better!”
The next Slingshot Sponsorship Session will take place on Thursday 22nd January. More information on the agenda and booking can be found here: http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/slingshot-sponsorship-sessions-january-2015-tickets-15177242541
