Become a Sponsor
The Media Innovation Awards celebrate and promote the cream of the creative industries and it is a joint initiative by the media, design and music clusters in the South West comprising some 8,000 people working in the creative industries.
The clusters involved in this initiative are based as far afield as Bournemouth, Gloucestershire and Penzance and include: Bristol Media; Creative Bath, Gloucestershire Media Group; Swindon Media Group, Wessex Media Group; Plymouth Media-Partnership; Cornwall Media Focus; Digital Peninsula Network; and the South West Design Forum nodes of Designed in Devon; Cornwall Design Forum; West of England Design Forum; Somerset Design Enterprise Network, Meet Draw, Wiltshire Design Network, Dorset Design Forum and Gloucestershire Design Network.
The Media Innovation Awards is the South West’s leading award ceremony for the creative industries and as a result the awards command widespread attention locally, regionally and nationally via media coverage, web streaming, promotional collateral and highly distinguished supporters and guests.
The winners will be announced at a special gala dinner event to be held in the Autumn. Winners will receive a specially designed award and in addition the winner of the Most Innovative New Talent/New Business award will receive a cash prize of £500
Sponsorship is a great way of reaching people working in the sector as well as the wider business community right across the South West. The initiative will be publicised regularly in the region and beyond and in previous years the awards generated more than two million opportunities to see across the regional press, and in addition received television and radio coverage.
That's why we pay very close attention to making sponsorship good value for all of our supporters. A principal benefit is that it associates your business with an event that is successful, creative, dynamic, well established and well respected. Highlights of the awards will be streamed on our website and direct links to the material can be provided for use on our sponsors’ websites.
Sponsors have included the BBC, ITV, O2, Audio Network, Bishop Fleming, Pyramid, Out of Hand, Plymouth City Council, Bristol City Council, Tell Systems, PR Dogs, University of the West of England, University of Plymouth, University College Falmouth, Plymouth College of Art, City College, Twofour, Silverstream, Business Link and the South West RDA. The Media Innovation Awards offer a variety of sponsorship opportunities and advertising packages.
