To whom it may Concern,
Thank you for taking the time to read through our partnership presentation. Our intention of the document was to step away from the traditional pitch of a sponsorship document, and show how utilizing M2 Motorsport can provide a 360 Degree marketing activation for your company or brand. M2 Motorsport is committed to working closely with our partners to tailor a package that suits. Whether it is full scale naming rights, or product / supply partnership, we have no set dollar figure or expectations on what our partners may have to offer. In return, you will receive our full commitment to representing, and activating your needs in the most premium way possible.
We will also provide a safety net for our partners. Motorsport is dangerous, accidents happen. If for some reason the M2 Motorsport V8ST cannot make a race weekend due to damage, we will negotiate with our partners to reimburse the value of not having your company or brand on show for that given weekend. In order to work in with marketing budgets and financial timings, M2 Motorsport are also happy to work through payment options with partners, which can be on a race by race basis, installments, or however suits. If the options in the document do not suit you, or you have any other ideas no matter how big or small, we are completely open to tailoring the partnership to work for you. We want to be known as the most approachable team that is highly regarded for partnership engagement and premium activation. For that reason, you will see no dollar figure requests in this document. Work with us, so we can make the best all round activation for you. Please let us know if this interests you, we are more than happy to jump on a plane and come and meet you, or catch up by phone or email. Thank you for your time. Simon McLennan M2 Motorsport
