Tell us about the Opportunity / What is it?
The Annapurna Triathlon race is the one of the Himalayan Challenges conceived by Jan Turner. It comes with a pedigree of races behind it that includes The Everest Marathon. The Headline Sponsorship gives a brand the opportunity to become intrinsically linked to an event that has the potential to receive online global TV coverage and represents a large PR opportunity for a brand. Full online distribution rights are given so a brand can also seed the branded coverage across relevant sites and social networking sites such as youtube.com.
How does it work?
The sponsor receives exceptional media coverage over a period of more than a year until well after the event and media interest has increased with each race. Media coverage has a broad base and is international. TV coverage has been achieved before on the BBC, ITN and regional stations in the UK and abroad. Sponsors can benefit from radio exposure on 5 national programmes (including BBC World Service), UK and international regional news and sports programmes. The race is an ideal showcase for a sponsor to expose their brand worldwide.
