Advertising and Sponsorship
Sponsorship
FS2P Theatre is the number one year-round attraction in Union County and Fulton County. Last year, attendance for our Main Stage shows average 3,000. Sponsoring a show ensures that your brand is front and center for everyone who sees that particular show. Additionally, your brand is included in all of our advertising – internet, print, and radio throughout Union County (New Jersey) and Fulton County (Georgia). Our sponsors’ inclusion in those ads gives them exposure in markets where they might otherwise never be seen. For sponsors whose package includes a listing on the marquee, we guarantee it will be in place no less than one week prior to the show opening and then throughout the entire show run – that’s at least a month’s worth of ad placement in our premium downtown location. Show sponsorship also entitles you to a block of tickets for your Sponsor Night. Use them to entertain clients, bring a big group of friends, donate them to a local charity to use as a fundraiser. Whatever you come up with, we’ll do our best to accommodate.
The cutoff for sponsorships is January 31, 2017. For more information, please contact the SF2P Theatre’s Director of Marketing & Business Development, Adrian Collins, at (404) 901-2915, or send by email at adrian2collins@gmail.com.
