No blue chip firm will sponsor something unless it comes through someone they trust with their brand. e.g. their advertising agency. you pay the best ad. agency in the country to go round their blue chip clients and say "hey, we've got something here that will be perfect for your brand to be associated with". The company (having already entrusted the ad man millions of dollars of their marketing budget), then say "hey, well if you're sure...." But this is kids stuff, there's marketing and advertising agencies that specialise in this sort of thing - everybody knows that, I'm the bloody postman, and even I know that. Surely they've done that right? Surely.........? They shouldn't be organising anything if they havent done that. what's say, $50000 payable to an ad-man when he can guarantee you millions in sponsorship revenue? _________________________________________________________________ --------------------- End of message text -------------------- This e-mail is sent by the above named in their individual, non-business capacity and is not on behalf of PricewaterhouseCoopers.
