Sponsorship Liaison Officer NU-SS

NU-SS is the official snow sports club of the University of

Newcastle.

The club operates according to its two key values

• To bring students with the common interest of snow activities

together to network and socialise.

• To provide a platform for students to excel at a competitive

level in snow sports events.

Although Newcastle is considered to be particularly far away

from any form of snow the club is extremely active, holding

many social events as well as two large snow trips.

The following pages provide an insight into what the NU-SS is all

about.

What is NU-SS?

NU-SS Activities & Events

Every year NU-SS stages a variety of events both on and off

the snow. This is a general outline of the style of events which

organisations can become involved in through sponsorship.

Australian University Championships

The Australian University Championships (AUC) are the hallmark

event for the club. Each year around 600 students from

universities all over Australia come together for a week of

competition at either Mount Buller or Thredbo.

Social Trip – New Zealand

In 2011 the club held its first social trip to the snowfields in

southern New Zealand. After a large amount of success this trip is

already in the planning for 2012.

NU-SS Activities & Events

Rail Jams

One of the more unique events the club runs are rail jams.

Essentially a man made snow park for our members to

demonstrate their abilities, these events are always popular and

provide for spectacular viewing.

2011 saw us hold two rail jams in unusual locations, King Edward

Park and at the universities ‘Bar on the Hill’

Social events

Aside from our on snow activities we are also hold a host of social

events including our registration party, AUC and New Zealand trip

reunions and an end of year winery tour.

What the NU-SS can do for your organisation

NU-SS has a clear sponsorship philosophy, to provide

maximum value to our sponsors on their investment in a way

which is relevant to their organisation.

In order to create maximum flexibility for your organisation the

NU-SS has created a simple sponsorship structure.

The following pages outline what the club has to offer and the

benefits derived from each opportunity. We are able to create

a customised package based on the opportunities which would

be of most value to your organisation.

We are also open to other innovative ideas which you may

have in leveraging your products, services or brand.

Major Team Sponsorship

Becoming a major sponsor of the team is the highest form of

NU-SS sponsorship. This involves complete integration of your

businesses marketing messages with the activities of NU-SS.

Not only will your organisation enjoy the benefits listed below,

we are also able to create further unique marketing activities

which will aid achieving your organisations objectives.

Some of the benefits included are:

• Large exposure on all club apparel for 2012 including

Australian University Championships uniform

• Exposure online via our website & social media outlets

• Naming rights to one NU-SS event in 2012 (Includes all of

the associated benefits of event sponsorship)

• Unlimited use of NU-SS media items for commercial

purposes

• A number of call-to-action marketing opportunities

throughout 2012

Sponsorship Opportunities

Event Sponsorship

If major sponsorship is not the most suitable option for your

organisation you may want to consider event sponsorship. Event

sponsorship offers similar benefits to a major sponsorship on a

reduced scale. One event will be branded as per your instruction,

with associated exposure flowing on from the event.

Includes:

• Naming rights to a NU-SS event

• Signage at event

• Exposure online associated with the event

• Opportunities for further marketing presence at the event

Online Advertising

Online advertising is suitable for organisations who would like to

support NU-SS on a smaller scale.

For 2012 the club has an entirely redeveloped website which aims

to facilitate member interaction and content exposure. We are

forecasting in excess of 400 unique visitors to the site each month

during the year.

With this targeted growth online we are able to offer your

organisation the opportunity to capitalise on web traffic through

exposure.

Also not to be overlooked is the growing base NU-SS is developing

on social media, a medium which we are also able to offer the use

of in delivering messages.

Includes:

• Website exposure & integration with your organisations

marketing activities

• Social media exposure

• Call-to-action opportunities
