Iri-ji (New Yam) Festival 2015,

About the event

As the largest Nigerian networking group in the UK we feel that we can offer your company direct and consistent access to a key demographic in the UK, young professional people between the ages of 18-40. We are ostensibly a British Nigerian organisation but we regularly engage with non-Nigerians at our fundraising events and extra-curricular language dance and cooking courses. The vast majority of our members are degree educated and in professions ranging from IT, accountancy, investment banking and law

The Iri-ji Festival that we are seeking support for is the biggest in scale in the UK.

Taking place in Black History Month, we recreate the most significant cultural event in Nigeria, complete with live band, cultural dancers, masquerades and attended by traditional rulers who reside over the proceedings to give it authenticity.

2014’s event had over 700 in attendance and we anticipate an audience of over 1000 people for this year’s event. The demographic of attendees at last year was primarily males and females in their 20s to mid-30s. The event was also well attended by families consisting of children, parents and grandparents.

We would like to invite you to have a presence at this year’s Iri-ji, as we feel it would

provide an opportunity for your company to engage with young professionals which can further improve your brand awareness. The Festival is happening on October 17th at The White House, 281 Barking Rd, Eastham London E6 1LB from 5pm-3am

Working with ISCN is not limited to the event in question, nor is it just based on visibility. At ICSN, we adopt a more holistic approach to sponsorship. Aside from the unique visibility we can offer sponsors through our online presence and monthly events and newsletter (all in addition to the event day) we also have creative individuals in our team that have been tasked with thinking outside of the box to add real lasting value to any potential sponsor. This year alone we have designed flyers for our sponsors and suggested marketing campaigns. Our minds are constantly working and trying to find that edge and we are sure you would appreciate the enthusiasm by which we go about our work

One of the strongest benefits for your company to partner with us is our longevity and stability. We are an established group and have been operating since 1998 and incorporated since 2004. We are growing and are constantly striving to innovate and remain relevant to our members. We will soon be celebrating our 20th anniversary which is in part due to the partners and supporters we have had over the years

Please take the time to read up on our organisation and the packages on offer and if you have any queries we will be happy to respond to them

Thank you

Why should you sponsor?
