Sponsorship Benefits

Arts sponsorship opportunities provide your business with partnership opportunities to:

• Reward Valuable Employees Through Access to the Centre In The Square's Exclusive Corporate Sponsors Employee Ticket Discount Program. Gives employees of corporate sponsors access to tickets to most shows in the Centre In The Square's nine Entertainment Series at an approximate 15% discount off the single show ticket price.
  
• Differentiate your brand from the competition by associating your business and/or product(s) with Waterloo Region's highest profile and highly regarded live performing arts venue.
  
• Promote the credibility and quality of your brand/products. Centre In The Square produces high quality and high profile shows. By associating your brand with the Centre In The Square you will be tying your firm's name and/or brand to a highly regarded organization known for its high degree of credibility and quality (entertainment) products.
  
• Outstanding profile opportunity. Raise the profile of your firm in the eyes of your customers, employees, shareholders, and potential employees. Centre In The Square spends extensively on advertising. Sponsors gain excellent profile from associating their brand/name with the show(s) it sponsors through gaining access to the advertising that the Centre In The Square spends to promote its shows.
  
• Centre In The Square has recruited key strategic media partners for all its shows
  (see below for a list of our major TV, Print and Radio partners). This offers an additional opportunity to show sponsors to leverage their profile further as these media sponsorships
  add a significant amount of promotional value to any show sponsored.
