Gerom Media’s annual Sponsorship Forum will take place in Johannesburg on 17 April 2020, and will be preceded by a Masterclass on 16 April 2020, focusing on “Effective Win-Win Sponsorship Negotiations”.
Gerrit Davids, MD of Gerom Media, says, “Sponsors and rights holders will engage each other in a highly interactive environment, sharing best practice and strategies on how commercial partnerships could deliver real and sustainable returns on the sponsor’s investment and business objectives.”
The focus of the Masterclass is on structuring and aligning deals, with the business objectives of a sponsor. Davids adds, “The role of sponsorship agencies is still a key conversation in the bigger scheme of things, and a dedicated session will unpack the current trends in the sponsorship and marketing arena, as well as assessing the continued value of agencies managing the sponsorship between sponsors and rights holders”.
