Sponsoring NYMF (continued)

We are looking for a few good, loyal partners with whom we can build lasting relationships. In the past, the Festival has been proudly presented by Cadillac, Verizon, Points.com, and the Virgin MegaStores - brands actively connecting with today's affluent young adult consumer. 

Before NYMF, musical theatre might not have been considered a means to connect with a younger audience, but, as these brands have experienced, NYMF makes musical theatre the right content to reach a hip and energized constituency. 

We invite sponsors to consider the myriad of consumer touchpoints that exist within the 3-week duration of our September/October 2008 Festival, as well as our other events throughout the year:

• Presence at more than 300 performances staged at the best theatre complexes in and around Times Square
• Marquee parties and social events, including celebrity meet and greets and NYMF Broadway Prom, our closing party extravaganza
• Opening and closing events for the cast and crew of more than 30 unique productions staged throughout the Festival

Based on the level of involvement, benefits can include:

• Industry Segment Exclusivity
  
• Placement on Festival media and promotion and partnership opportunities with over 25 million logo impressions and a million dollars of promotional and marketing value
• In Venue Opportunities which could include kiosks in the foyer, program inserts to drive attendees to specific venues, or live pre-show announcements
• Naming rights for key Festival events and awards
• Product Placement, sampling, and promotional opportunities throughout the year and during the Festival
• Incentives for your organization's loyalty programs such as allowing members advance ticket purchasing opportunities, waiving fees, or celebrity meet and greets
• VIP opportunities during the Festival including backstage tours, meeting cast members, and introductions to celebrity Festival supporters
• Premium tickets to galas and shows for employees and customers

All packages are flexible, both in financial commitment and return, and range from Title Sponsor ("YOUR COMPANY Presents the 2008 New York Musical Theatre Festival") , Presenting Sponsor (XXXX Presents the 2008 New York Musical Theatre Festival in association with YOUR COMPANY), and Leadership Sponsor (YOUR COMPANY logo branded on all Festival materials).
