Sponsors
Thank you to our 2008 sponsors for their generous support.
MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television Festival is a non profit-making organisation with charitable status, relying solely on revenue raised from sponsorship and delegate fees. The Festival's ongoing success and continued growth as the UK's leading broadcasting industry event is dependent on the much valued commitment and support of our sponsors. MGEITF is also the main source of funding for the charitable initiatives for young people which we produce: The Network, Fast Track, The Network At Work.
Through sponsorship of the Festival, companies gain access to a wide-ranging audience from the broadcasting industry, with packages offering extensive branding and profile-raising opportunities. Sponsorship of MGEITF, in turn, demonstrates a company's support for the industry. We also work closely with individual companies to create tailored sponsorship packages which meet their current business objectives.
For current sponsorship and promotional opportunities please contact: su.moore@mgeitf.co.uk.
