01 | Media Creative are looking for Sponsorship Opportunities

Media Creative Ltd Web Design and Development would like to hear from any East Anglian Regional Charity that requires sponsorship. We propose to build web sites for events that charities have in their calendar for that year for FREE.

Media Creative has worked closely with Arthur Rank Hospice Charity this past 6 months building their official website, free of charge. www.arhc.org.uk Our staff feel that putting something back into the local community is what business should be all about.

Supporting and encouraging development within these organizations is imperative for their survival. Trying to compete with the national charities for public support, who have a massive marketing budget and numerous staff and run like a multinational company, is an uphill struggle for most local and regional charities.

Media Creative understands the importance of marketing an event with a stylish, functional web presence to get people attending. Events companies use this form of marketing all the time, but pay thousands of pounds for the privilege. We would like to offer this service free to charities in our area. Included within this will be the opportunity to capture supporters data, making life easier when marketing the next event.

Having worked within the charity sector briefly, it is evident that the funding for such Marketing luxuries is not in place within regional charities, so we intend to make money no object and charge nothing for the websites.

Please get in touch if you wish to discuss this with Media Creative our contact details are on the contact us page.
