Hannah maps out global media opportunities for sponsors who come on board for ocean challenge

Hannah Richards - 1 circumnavigation, 10 ocean racing yachts, 40,000 miles, 15 races, 13 countries ... sounds like a challenge!

Hannah has been lucky enough to secure a crew place on the Clipper 2011-2012 Yacht Race. She has always loved sailing and it has been a dream of hers to sail around the globe, experiencing the thrills and challenges associated with ocean racing. Hannah needs your help to make this dream a reality.

  •  The benefits of getting involved? - it's all about perception and association.

1. Exposure - thanks to global communications and technology, the 2011-12 Clipper race will have an audience of over 300 million people in more than 200 countries, with extensive, international coverage in every form of media.

2. Business skills - the skills required to be successful at ocean racing are the same as those required to be successful in the business environment - for example, strong teamwork, clear communication, endurance, keeping a calm head under pressure and last but not least - gaining that competitive edge!

3. Promoting a positive lifestyle - sailing in extreme conditions is incredibly physically and mentally challenging; association with a competitor in this event shows support for a healthy attitude towards getting the most out of life. In short, it's the ideal sport and the ideal event with which to associate your image, branding, products and services as part of a promotional campaign that will repay investment many times over.

  •  What Hannah can do for you:

1. Speaking at events - Hannah would love to come and talk to you and your company about the challenges she is likely to be facing and experiences gained in training so far - she has already learned an incredible amount about team working, leadership and quick thinking under pressure. As part of her job she is experienced in giving high quality presentations to large groups of people in a professional context.

2. Written materials - Hannah will send you regular updates and written articles on her progress towards the event.

3. Invitations to events - Hannah would be pleased to invite you to any events she holds to raise money towards this. With advance notice she may also be able to arrange for you to meet the team and tour the 68ft racing yachts.

4. Promotion - Hannah would be keen to promote your company and the support you have given her in the following ways: space and links on her website; wearing clothing branded with your logo (including during the race itself); recognition in media coverage up to and including the event.
