BE A SPONSOR

Sponsorship of the M1 Singapore Fringe Festival gives you a fantastic opportunity to associate your company’s name, logo and brand with one of the fastest growing, high-profile and anticipated arts events around!

Sponsorship of the arts is in general regarded as a wonderful investment and useful marketing and promotional tool for companies keen to establish themselves as commercial entities that can contribute to social well-being.

Here at the M1 Singapore Fringe Festival, we have a fervent belief in developing the Fringe as a creative centre that encourages innovation, discourse and positive engagement.

During our 12-day long festival, sponsors and partners share and participate in this celebration of creativity and connection with the community. In the 2020 edition of the Fringe, the festival reached out 3,893 people through free and ticketed events, including a record 95.88% house for ticketed events. We aim to attain the same audienceship—if not more—for all future editions of the Fringe.

In order to do so, aside from having a thrilling line-up for programmes, the M1 Singapore Fringe Festival also runs an exciting, socially engaging and highly visible marketing and communications campaign from around October to January each year.

Our extensive, nation-wide media relations campaign goes
hand-in-hand with our comprehensive and highly visible
marketing drive which often includes:

  • A mobile-enabled Festival website at
    www.singaporefringe.com;
  • A robust social media marketing presence via dedicated
    Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn accounts to
    engage audiences;
  • Partnerships with media channels such as JCDecaux
    (Official Outdoor Media) for poster advertisements at bus
    stops located within the Fringe Belt as well as islandwide;
  • One to two-month campaign of street banner advertising
    within the Fringe Belt;
  • Collaterals for individual exhibitions and performances;
  • Press kits and press releases;
  • Front-of-house displays;
  • Email flyers to The Necessary Stage’s local and international
    database, as well as the databases of our sponsors and
    partners;
  • Onsite and venue marketing collaterals which may include
    floor stickers, posters, banners, plasma screen spot ads,
    calendar listings, etc.;
  • Pre-show announcements at every performance at the
    Fringe.

The Fringe’s marketing campaign may vary depending on the programme each year.

Nevertheless, all sponsors and partners are always acknowledged in our collaterals, based on your level of investment.

For more information on sponsorship opportunities, please contact The Necessary Stage’s General Manager Melissa Lim at (65) 6440 8115 or email melissa@necessary.org.
