We make Schools & Sorting Clubs Sponsorship Ready

With the right strategy, tools and support.

About Sponsorship Ready

Sponsorship Ready was born from being tasked by a client, a state sporting organisation, with building sponsorship capability and capacity in their clubs. It has since expanded to delivering strong results for schools, major events and even a confederation of FIFA.

Using the same principles in pitching premium sponsorship properties for rights holders nationally and internationally, Terry Johnston works with schools, sports clubs, associations and governing bodies to position themselves as capable of delivering on commercial, brand or community engagement objectives of prospective partners and driving sustainable educational sponsorship outcomes.

Utilising a simple 3 step framework, Terry mentors clients to unlock the value inherent in their reach and impact role in their respective communities. Incremental sponsorship revenue can be invested into impactful programs and initiatives that each client values.
