Benefits
to a business
|
"The arts positively
enhance our lives and provide an enormous economic benefit to
our country. Sponsoring the arts is a proven, cost effective
and highly visible strategic marketing tool. It is one of the
most powerful ways to reinforce your corporate image, allowing
you to promote your company's name, logo, product or services
to a wider community. Furthermore, many businesses use the arts
not only to motivate staff and promote teamwork, but also to
nurture creativity in the workplace - the key to competitive
advantage in the 21st Century" Arts & Business |

Our audience
Recent research has shown that 95% of Red Shift's audience are in social class ABC1 and 75% are aged between 17-54 years, plus due to the nature of Red Shift's work we often attract young people and school audiences. For a long tour (up to 80 venues) a sponsor has the opportunity to reach an estimated audience of 28,000 (based on 350 seat theatre being the average venue size). |
