SPONSORSHIP & PARTNERS

GET INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT

OPPORTUNITIES

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to reach your target audience and position yourself as a green energy supporter by becoming a Charge Around Australia sponsor.

Various levels of sponsorship are available with unique acknowledgements and opportunities associated with each.

Charge Around Australia is generating considerable media coverage, especially in Australia and the UK.

As a sponsor, your brand logo and website link will feature prominently on the Charge Around Australia homepage and be included in all multi-channel social media, as well as in publications and on vehicles, team clothing and merchandise.

Our PR and marketing team are responsible for overseeing social media feeds and publicity in the run up to the drive and streaming progress during and after the trip. This includes frequent updates on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube, in addition to press, radio and TV coverage. We are attending events and conferences in the run up and making appearances on local TV and radio stations, in which sponsors can feature, throughout the challenge.

This exciting project offers a wealth of opportunities for organisations and people to get involved, including vehicle manufacturers, tourism companies, food and drink manufacturers, schools and colleges, energy and environmental specialists, and community groups.

We are developing a variety of partnership and sponsorship opportunities including:

Media franchises
Provision of the electric and support vehicles
Air flights
Travel and tourism
Team branded clothing
Provision of food and drink
Monitoring equipment and specialist printing consumables (polymers, solvents, electrical equipment)

We welcome enquiries from all potential partners, large or small. We are keen to ensure all such arrangements are mutually beneficial. We are more than happy to discuss your business priorities and target markets.

Please email us for more details and a no obligation discussion about options that you think could best fit your requirements.
