Onedotzero Sponsorship talk

Hello, here is the info the FdAers from Camberwell got last year....

there is more stuff that can be found here:

http://fdadesignandillustration.blogspot.com/


Basically we need to create a pdf about us, we need to let potential sponsors know, what we are doing, why we are doing it, and how it will benefit them to sponsor us, we need to outline exactly what they will get out of it.

The slides should contain roughly the following:

1. Title, front page, dates, what it is, who it is.

2. Core operations, uni and course

3. Numbers, what goes on at uni, the structure of course, stats, status of college in the design world, significance that the course is rare, designers and illustrators working together. Basically why Camberwell and the course is great.

4. Why they should sponsor us. eg. it would be good for the company to show that they engage with students and are keen on new talents, branding and marketing, how will the event be advertised or invite only? emails, newsletter, uni publications, websites?

5. Output, people attended, household names of people that have been through Camberwell eg. Tim Roth apparantly studied at Camberwell so did Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen. The prospectus that contained interesting facts about Camberwell would be good for this. This also needs supporting visuals.

6. Explaining what will happen in the show.

7. Who we are engaging with, guests, facts and figures. There is a system 'ABCD social goup' a simple way of stating the type of people attending, ours would probably be 'ABC1 95%'

A - City educated working class people

B - Business leaders middle class people

C - Lower management people

Also details of the two core groups targeted.

The ratio of men to women would also be put on the same page.

(not sure if I have explained this one very well)

8. Breakdown of what we want from the company, (some people don't put this one)

OTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER

Location? ideas of location posted on here so everyone can have a look and share ideas.

Visuals - can we create visuals of a suggested identity? It is good to have a feel for what it would look like upfront, details where sponsors details would go, if it be on the invites, or if there is a screen displaying sponsors as you walk in to the show.

We need to explain ourselves and how great we are as a team. use the uni prospectus. 'creative new talent' 'innovative' etc.

What will be showing at the exhibition? posters? books? illustrations? print work?

We need to think about a theme and equipment we might need.

Media quotes? 10 things you didn't know about Camberwell college of art.

Goody Bags, we could simply approach companies in london asking for promotional material that we might put together in a take away goody bag, a lasting reminder of the show.

Community, the value of the creative community, we could advertise through SU bar, it will be advertised through word of mouth, event on facebook and mentioning the fact that facebook did infact grow from a student community.

At the end of the day we are not asking for that much sponsorship in comparison to the large companies that ask for a lot more, however if we look as professional as possible we won't be written off as just another group of students that want free stuff.

Also we need to think about numbers? this will determine the space we get and everything else will fit around this, amount of drinks required, promotional material etc.

Arts Council Grant

Just managed to sign in, didn't realise you left out the blogspot.com part.. duh!

Anyway I think we should apply for a grant from the arts council, they award grants from £1000 in £5000. Which would certainly help!

I don't mind doing the application but we need to have decided on a lot more information first.

What do you guys think?

http://jtg.org.uk/ James Taylor gallery is hackey, we have a possible friend link to possibly get some discounted rates, (rates TBC). I have seen this spac

e and its pretty amazing, a big old 1920s factory/warehouse with lots of character.

This is one of the rooms, there are 6 in total, all smaller than this one, but still a great space!

http://www.blackallstudios.com/ Space in shoreditch, with a bar downstairs. I know very little about this space as of yet, but worth a look. I have contacted them for cost.

Brixton art space Again, i know nothing about this space, but found it on google - if anyone knows more, comment.

Other venues discussed include, the shop on shoreditch high street where illustration had their show 2 years ago and a the vinyl factory in soho (although VERY expensive)
