About
WHAT
is a Partnership?
pärtnərˌSHip
N: An association. Two or more parties working toward a common goal.
But what is a common goal and do these parties even like each other?
Are they partners simply because they share a common audience? Or are they working toward something mutually beneficial?
HOW
Typical Partnerships Work
Too often, the term is used loosely to describe initiatives that brands are paying for, directly or indirectly. Many of these so called “partnerships” are simply the byproduct of some other paid media initiative. As a result, programs are often not strategic or even in the original brand’s best interest.
WHAT
We Do
At Regatta, we believe brands should CREATE partnerships, not simply accept them. Partnerships should be created BY DESIGN and provide MORE than what was paid for.
Effective partnerships require a specialist – a BrandAgent.
HOW
we Work
Everybody knows what a Talent Agent is. Someone who monetizes their client’s talent assets:
• Their voice, throwing arm, writing, acting, etc.
A BrandAgent monetizes their client’s brand assets:
• Their customer base, media, website, social presence, store space, etc.
Regatta’s BrandAgents help clients plan, pitch, and manage partnerships that don’t leave money on the table.
Having a Regatta BrandAgent in your corner is the optimal way to develop marketing partnerships and maximize marketing ROI.
