A phased year-long PR & Marketing campaign will maximise awareness of the Growth Investor Awards and build momentum up to and beyond the awards ceremony. Designed around the announcement of finalists and winners, and supported by a high profile and influential Advisory Board, PR content will be distributed to industry and national media and coordinated with over 50 affiliate partners – with press releases created for sponsors to adapt for each key stage of the campaign. The halo of celebration and recognition at the prestigious ceremony creates the perfect atmosphere for developing business relationships – providing sponsors with an opportunity to host key clients and prospects with invitations and seating plans facilitated by the organiser.
Sponsorship of the Growth Investor Awards enables partners to maximise opportunities for brand awareness and business acquisition in the context of growth investment, innovation and impact.

BEAUHURST
Co-founders Toby Austin and Stephen Bence first devised the idea for Beauhurst as consultants, tasked with finding potential investors for British companies. They became increasingly frustrated with the process and, whilst on the hunt for some quality structured data and an advanced tool to help them, they soon realised that no such thing existed. So the duo set to work on building the solution. Since then, they’ve built the Beauhurst platform with high-quality and manually curated data at its core.
