Benefits of Sponsorship at The Colonial

In addition to supporting arts and culture in your community, sponsors receive the following recognition and benefits which vary depending of your level of sponsorship and interest:

  • Sponsor’s name will be placed on print and digital film tickets for the sponsored film.
  • Public announcement and recognition of your sponsorship in front of the audience immediately before the film.
  • Opportunity to directly speak to the audience and introduce the film.
  • Logo placement, where possible,’ in the following digital and print media:
    • In on-screen advertising for the sponsored film in the Colonial’s three theatres and lobby.
    • On posters advertising the sponsored film, to be displayed throughout the community and in Phoenixville’s downtown (Bridge Street).
    • In social media posts (that reach a collective 21,000 followers) related to the sponsored film.
    • In relevant e-newsletters (Dist.: over 16,000 individuals in your service area and throughout the region) may include your logo and link to your website.
