Would
your business like to consider sponsoring the Byte Me! Festival?
We
are well aware of the need for reciprocal
benefit to the sponsor. We see this responsibility
as running deeper than just ‘advertising’, and prefer
to be able to show tangible benefits that are of value to
the organisation providing the support.
For
this reason, we prefer to form relationships with businesses who
are likely to
get the most benefit from an affiliation with the Festival – businesses
who either employ creative technology professionals, or
who provide
goods or services
used by them.
Before
considering sponsorship of Byte Me! Festival, ask yourself, "What
does my organisation want out of this?" then make that clear in
your negotiation with us.
We
will aim to
deliver what we promise plus a bit more, with the intention that
you'll be happy to continue this relationship in future years.
We have
four levels of sponsorship:
- Platinum – only
one available. $20,000 minimum. Largest logo placement
on posters, flyers, postcards, emails, website and cover
of Program. Mention on podcasts. Six season-passes to
all Festival events.
- Gold – Up
to six available. $5000 minimum. Medium logo placement
on posters, flyers postcards, website and cover of Program.
Four season-passes to all Festival events.
- Silver – Up
to ten available. $1000 minimum. Small logo placement
on posters, website and in body of Program. Two season-passes
to all Festival events.
- Bronze – Unlimited
available. $500 minimum. Small logo placement on website
and in body of Program. Double-pass to a Festival event
of sponsor’s choosing.

You can specify
sponsorship of a particular event or Guest Speaker if
you wish. You can have their talk listed as 'presented by' (if
you pay all the costs for that speaker) or 'supported by' (if
you partially contribute to them attending Perth to present their
talk or performance).
In addition,
we would like to extend the 'Festival partner' discounted ticket
price to all employees of Sponsor organisations. While ticket
pricing has yet to be finalised, this discount is intended to be
substantial - 40-50% off.
If your business
would like to negotiate or enquire about sponsorship, please contact

Donations
The
Byte Me! Festival is seeking your support. I'm sure you have some
idea how much work and expense it takes to put
on a Festival, and as you're probably aware, it's all being developed
from the ground up. We've been lucky enough to be offered some
incredible
national and international guests that will really raise the
profile of the Festival and help to position Perth as a hub for
Digital Content in the Asia-Pacific Region.
But we need to pay for it all, and I'm asking for your help.
Donations
will go towards the cost of flights and accommodation for guest
speakers and performers, and allow us to keep the ticket prices
affordable
(some events will even be free!). Donations also encourage us to
keep working towards building the first Digital Content Festival
in Perth by showing your commitment to personally supporting BM!F
and putting your money where your proverbial mouth is.
For the 2007 Festival, I'm very pleased to be working with the Australia
Business Arts Foundation (AbaF) to enable BM!F supporters to make
tax deductible donations under the Australia Cultural Fund: http://www.abaf.org.au/giving/
If you'd like
to be a donor please complete the donation form (Word or pdf version)
and post it directly to AbaF with your payment or credit
card details. They'll provide you with a receipt and take your
preference into
consideration
when
allocating
grants.
Please do not make donations payable to the Festival or me personally,
or you'll miss out on the tax deduction - a tragedy.
All donations nomatter
how small are appreciated. And just think, you can tell all your
friends you're a "Patron of the Arts".
Wow, fancy!
Then, you can
pop this funky little badge on your site, just like the tin-rattlers
give out. It's an honour system, we'll trust you to send in the
money. Link back to here and spread the love...

Thanks
a bunch for your support :)

PS - You're not
eligible for a tax deduction for BM!F donations if you're a relative
of mine, or if you're directly involved in the Festival (eg one
of
the presenters
or performers). Sorry, Mum! xx |
