Media Maven: Developing Rich & Lasting Corporate Relationships 04/19/2012

Julia Andrews of J Andrews Marketing discusses how to create rich and multi-faceted corporate partnerships at April's Media Maven Lunch and Webcast. Some corporate partnerships are pretty simple- the company writes a check in exchange for logo placement at an event or in an e-newsletter.

For some partnerships, this may be fine. But this type of arrangement doesn’t really engage the power of the sponsoring company, and engender their commitment to your organization. Julia discusses:

How to get the company inspired about your mission
Engaging the company’s employees and customers
Looking for unique opportunities to deepen a relationship.

Special thanks to Merchants Bank for their support of this program.
