Sponsorship Opportunities

Be Seen. Be Noticed. Be Heard.

Position your company as a proactive business and community leader as you gain valuable marketing through the Covington Business Council sponsorship programs. Research shows that consumers are more likely to think favorably of businesses that are involved in the CBC and are more likely to think your products, goods or services are superior to the competition. Promotional opportunities help a business gain and maintain top-of-mind awareness for your products and services with the thousands of employees of the over 550 CBC members companies – your customers. The CBC offers many programs and others can be customized to meet your marketing and budget objectives.

The CBC hosts more than 100 events and programs annually, focusing on key issues facing our community and celebrating the success of area businesses and individuals. Some of the CBC’s signature productions, such as the Annual Dinner, Fall and Spring Golf Outings, and the Annual Legislative Luncheon provide our members unique opportunities to increases their company’s visibility to business decision-makers and offer a targeted alternative to standard marketing. CBC events reach key business owners and managers throughout the area and are communicated through the weekly Covington Connector e-mails, as well as our website.

Benefits of becoming a sponsor include enhanced networking opportunities, exposure to a broad cross-section of the business community, company featured in promotional materials developed by the CBC for your business, and recognition at the event through sponsor signs, illuminated logo and podium announcements. Sometimes a custom sponsorship is created to meet the sponsor’s needs.
