Why Network Athens?
Network Athens provides a unique opportunity to show off your brand leadership to hundreds of local business owners, community leaders, and potential customers. With Network Athens, you get more than just traditional “impressions.” You become part of an interactive, multi-platform approach to business facilitation. As a sponsor, your brand will be professionally promoted before, during, and after our events. Even more importantly, we are an organization that is passionate about building successful events the old-fashioned, indispensable way: one hand shake at a time.
Why do so many upstanding citizens trust us with their time?
For starters, we don’t “sell” anything. Thanks to our sponsors, our events remain free, top-notch, and unrivaled. We also don’t let just anyone sponsor; we have to know that you are offering quality services to Athens before we can plug you into our mutli-platform enterprise. The community also trusts us to throw a great event that's worth their time. Consequently, as you can relate, our reputation is everything. We work tirelessly to build alliances in town and effectively market our events so that we can reliably deliver on the public's expectations.
What makes us the premiere networking organization in Athens?
We strive to create an entrepreneurial spark at our events that ignites business collaborations. This culture is supported by our long-term partnership with UGA's Entrepreneurship Program, as well as the founding team's own entrepreneurial credibility. Our sponsors are therefore well-positioned to take part in the process, and share in the benefits. In addition to the myriad of other ways we promote our supporters, sponsors are eligible to wear a special badge at our events that lets the community know whom to thank for the great party. In another great example of what sets us apart, Network Athens personally hand-delivers invitations to target business owners and VIPs all over town (which is likely why our events are so successful).
Ultimately, however, Network Athens is more than a series of events. We are building a virtual platform punctuated by live events that is dedicated to helping local Athens businesses connect, learn, and grow. No other organization matches our team's combination of innovative marketing experience, professional expertise, and community relationships that together make Network Athens' unique blend of business and fun so successful. Join us as we help Athens connect the dots and take local businesses to the next level!
