Sponsor an Award

Sponsoring an industry award allows your company to gain exposure and reach a wider audience.

Whether it's promotion on the night or via DCN pre or post event coverage, this increased visibility can enhance your brand recognition and reputation, benefiting from being seen more than competitors that have chosen not to support award sponsorship in their marketing mix.

Whether you've been a past winner, a finalist, or even a previous sponsor, sponsoring an award is an excellent way to give back to the industry that has supported your success. Industry awards play a vital role in recognising excellence, and most events depend on the generous support of sponsors to ensure their success. By sponsoring an award, you are not only contributing to the future of the industry but also helping to shine a light on emerging talent and innovative companies. Imagine the impact of sponsoring a sustainability award, driving the recognition of businesses that are making a real difference. It’s your chance to be a part of something bigger—supporting the next generation of leaders and making sure the industry continues to thrive.

Maybe you won the award in the past. Or you were a finalist. Or even a previous sponsor. Successful business owners often sponsor awards in order to give back to the industry they are a part of. Most industry awards rely on sponsors and partners in order to afford to run the event. What better way to give back than to sponsor an award for the next up and coming individual or company, or be part of making sure a particular award actually happens?

Sponsoring an award is the perfect reason to engage with your own audience, customers or staff and share that you are sponsoring an award via your own website, social media or include in communications to your own customers.

By supporting the DCN Australian Shipping & Maritime Industry Awards, you’ll reach more people and produce more goodwill. People like companies who help others, and your company could be one of them.

Sponsoring an industry award allows you to connect with specific audiences, influencers or stakeholders that align with your business goals.

By supporting an industry event, you’ll foster trust and credibility with attendees. They associate your brand with the positive experience provided by this amazing event.
