What’s the difference between Sponsorship and Advertising?
Glad you asked. Sponsoring the Tour of Somerville pb Unity Bank means you are part of the event year-round. Advertising is a limited, but effective, targeted hit on race day. Sponsorship provides you with multiple layers of activation across a much longer calendar.
Advertising opportunities will be published in 2024. If you would like to discuss advertising opportunities sooner, please contact us.
Pre-Event Opportunities
Medal-level sponsors are included in printed race materials such as the poster. Certain sponsorship levels can also include the business or brand in social media posts – whether that is through a subtle consistent mention or a more overt #ad #sponsored post.
Race-Day Opportunities
The most obvious benefit is printed course materials. Sponsors and advertisers can have printed materials for the course. Sponsors can be included in the start/finish truss and have a closer placement to the start/finish line. Gold Sponsors can also request placement at a specific turn.
