Rowing Solo, Unsupported and Non-Stop Across the Atlantic Ocean in 2024
In partnership with CSSC and the Skin Health Alliance
- SPONSORS & PARTNERS -
Whilst Kyle may be all alone in his little boat during the crossing, this extraordinary undertaking is far from a solo effort. He simply cannot do it without amazing sponsors like you! Continuing with the message of Skin Cancer awareness, Partnership Packages have been themed around sun-creams and attempts have been made to accommodate most budgets. Should you wish to support – and haven’t seen a suitable package – please get in touch to discuss bespoke options.
As a Partner you will work together to maximise brand exposure and raise the profile of your Company on a huge domestic and global scale, right through until mid-2025! Your Brand can expect to receive local, national and international attention through inclusion in television, press, radio, social media campaigns and clothing branding.
Breaking from tradition and limiting the number of Partnership Packages available, Kyle seeks to ensure that each Partner receives increased attention and media exposure, on both the national and international platform during his campaign, thereby rewarding your support as much as possible.
High-quality creative content and product endorsements will be further enhanced with regular social media posts and PR events, providing up to date information on the development of The OARburn Rowers campaign and race preparation. Royalty free content – including video, live-streams and other multi-media content – is available to all Partners before, during and after the race.
