ABOUT
JAZZ MATTERS
AT THE WREN'S NEST
Becoming a sponsor can have a positive impact on any company whose products or ideas are in line with the lifestyle of our devoted fans. We welcome the opportunity to discuss how we can create a partnership which will benefit your company as well as provide a meaningful experience for our festival attendees. Music festivals are an ideal place for brands to interact with consumers because music has the unique ability to transcend age, gender, and culture. We seek to creatively partner with companies looking to associate themselves with a high-quality music event that brings jazz lovers together for a unique music experience. Since our first concert series held in June 2016, we have seen an increase in attendance; an increase in audience engagement, interactions, impressions and reach through our ticketing platforms; an increase in the diversity of our audience and becoming a destination music event for national and international attendees. In this proposal, you’ll discover sponsorship opportunities for our upcoming 4th Annual Jazz Matters At The Wren’s Nest summer concert series.
Jazz Matters, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization who believes jazz matters, because music matters. It is our vision to preserve a music culture, tradition & art form … keeping jazz alive.
