Festival and Events International

Fundraising and Commercialisation

FEI’s directors are experts in:

  • Creating bids for a specific event
  • Identifying, developing and managing key stakeholder relationships
  • Creating private sector investment plans
  • Creating sponsorship proposals including naming rights
  • Major donor development.

Festivals and events offer many other commercial opportunities and FEI has practical experience both in what works and what doesn’t! This includes;

  • Bars and catering.
  • Merchandise and other concessions
  • Intellectual property and rights
  • Recording and broadcast arrangements
  • Ticketing revenues
   

Probably the most important issue after setting the vision is creating the financial model within which the festival or event will operate. Striking a realistic balance between public and private investment is key to success. FEI’s network includes some of the country’s most successful fundraisers and commercial managers.
