Some of the Ways You Can Activate Your Sponsorship
Integrated Marketing Campaign
We leverage our marketing channels (website, email, educator newsletters, social media, blog) to amplify your brand and campaign messaging. We’ll provide you with a customized marketing communications plan that aligns with your campaign design and messaging.
National Reach, Local Activation
We can match your business with teachers and schools in any community throughout the U.S. Whether you want to support education in a single market, or in hundreds of cities where you operate, we geo-target your campaign.
Impact Report
Once your campaign ends, we’ll provide you with a final report that includes both quantitative and qualitative impact. In addition, we’ll provide you with compelling, creative content from our educators you can use in your own internal and external marketing.
There’s a good chance your stakeholders (employees, customers, vendors, and investors) want your company to support education. How do we know? Education continues to be one of the top social issues Americans want companies to support.
