10 BACKGROUND Have worked with or in discussions with over 25 municipalities and associated properties in the past three years Clients large and small, City of Toronto to Town of Taber

11 BACKGROUND Work with municipalities not just on naming rights, but holistic sponsorship programs including and / or excluding naming rights Work with municipalities to build internal capacity versus selling for them

12 BACKGROUND We believe it is critical to understand what you have to sell, what it is worth and to be able to show value to your partners You need to take such tools and build internal capacity to be successful in sponsorship revenue generation

14 Canadian Sponsorship Landscape Study 2013 Since 2006 the industry has grown 41% - $1.6B Almost 22% of spends are on local sponsorships 30% of brands marketing budgets last year were spent in sponsorship and experiential marketing up by almost 1/3 over the 2011 study and up over 75% over the last 7 years

15 Greatest continuous growth has been with fairs, festivals and annual events Sport and recreation rank behind arts and fairs and festivals for asks and revenue in Canada

16 Municipalities have seen tremendous growth over the past 5 years with both small and large centers getting into the game Those who are doing it right recognize they own audiences that brands want to reach

17 2013 CONSUMER SPONSORSHIP RANKINGS AN EXCLUSIVE CANADIAN RESEARCH STUDY

18 Consumer Sponsorship Rankings 2013 SHOULD MUNICIPALITIES SEEK SPONSORSHIP? 6.5 out of 10 Canadians believe municipalities, parks and secondary schools should seek corporate sponsorship as a source of revenue

19 Consumer Sponsorship Rankings 2013 OPINIONS ON MUNICIPALITIES SPONSORSHIP 43% 87 % 50 % Companies should get preferential treatment if they are providing revenue to offset costs through a sponsorship Companies should be able to sponsor public spaces such as hockey rinks, ball parks and recreational facilities Companies should be able to retitle existing buildings named after prominent citizens or community benefactors

20 SHOULD YOU BE IN THE GAME OR NOT? Do you need additional revenues beyond user fees and taxes? Are users / citizens concerned about increasing tax rates and increasing user fees at facilities? Do you own rinks, parks, leisure centers, performing arts centers, programming, etc.?

21 SHOULD YOU BE IN THE GAME OR NOT? How do we avoid such situations as: Holiday Inn Holding Cell (for that short unexpected stay) Comfort Suites Correctional Facility Roto Rooter Sewage Management Centre Hot Wheels Fleet Vehicle Department Accounttemps Finance Department

22 SHOULD YOU BE IN THE GAME OR NOT? Do you presently have sponsorship policy in place? Are your constituents OK with corporate branding? Has there been due diligence in undertaking sponsorship Are you committed to doing sponsorship or is it ad hoc?

23 SHOULD YOU BE IN THE GAME OR NOT? Are you understanding of the non profits and charities with whom you will compete? Are you willing to integrate your procurement process with sponsorship Are you open to true partnerships? Are there builders, architectural firms, waste management services companies you want to deal with?

24 TRENDING & RESEARCH A recent polling by The Centre of Excellence for Public Sector Marketing and The Sponsorship Report showed that over 65% of municipalities build internal capacity for selling sponsorships versus outsourcing the sales The study showed a lack of clear understanding about sponsorship marketing and professional revenue generation through sponsorship by municipalities

25 TRENDING & RESEARCH The study also reconfirmed that on average sponsorship agreements take 18 to 24 months from time of prospect clearance to closing The study showed a lack of clear understanding about sponsorship marketing and professional revenue generation through sponsorship by municipalities

28 CITY OF NANAIMO What action was taken? Delivered a training program for parks and recreation staff as well as community organizations taught the community organizations how to fish for themselves versus just continually feeding them Showed them how to diversify revenue channels

29 CITY OF NANAIMO What are the next steps and why?
