Cost-effective branding
HITC acknowledges we are in uncertain times, and that marketing budgets are currently under pressure. However, we know that by effectively targeting the decision-making professionals who have the power to sign-off on using your services, our Financial Markets Awards is a highly cost-effective sponsorship opportunity to promote your brand to our over 167,000 unique users.
The key draw of sponsoring a HITC award is the longevity of the branding you will receive during the pre-launch publicity, the duration of the polls and post-results coverage. This branding will showcase your firm on all HITC News stories, which currently is hitting up to 1.4 million page impressions each month.
Awards polling schedule
May - September - the running of the polls will be promoted on the site, complete with a banner and weblink for each firm sponsoring an Award. For example, an award would be presented as: 'Best CIO / CTO Sponsored by Deep Blue Associates'.
September - November - the polls will be run online in tranches for a 2 week period.
December - the results of the polls will be published on HITC.
January - December 2009 - the results will feature on a special Awards micro-site, which will be accessible on all HITC News stories and specific sections on our Career site.
Champagne reception at The House of Commons
HITC will be hosting a buffet and champagne reception at the conclusion of the Awards at the House of Commons Terrace on November 19th. All Award sponsors will receive a total of 8 tickets for the event.
