Once sponsorship agreements are finalized, the SayPro Festival Management Office, in collaboration with relevant internal departments, initiates the Sponsor Activation and Support phase. This stage ensures that each sponsor receives the full value of their investment through timely delivery of all contractual benefits, high-impact brand exposure, and dedicated support throughout the festival lifecycle.

1. Activation Planning and Kickoff

• Internal Alignment: A sponsor activation briefing is held with festival operations, marketing, creative, logistics, and tech teams to review each sponsor’s agreed deliverables.
• Sponsor Welcome Kit: A detailed onboarding package is sent to the sponsor including:
  • Activation timeline
  • Brand guidelines for content inclusion
  • Event access details (passes, booth specs, presentation slots)
  • Sponsor liaison contact information
