How A Partnership Comes Together
Step 01

Initial conversation

We start with a call to understand your objectives, your audience, and what a meaningful partnership outcome looks like from your side.

Step 02

Partnership proposal

We put together a tailored partnership structure with clear deliverables, co-branding terms, and timelines — and talk it through with you directly.

Step 03

Agreement & kickoff

Once terms are agreed, we assign an account lead and bring the right editorial, research, and events team members into the relationship.

Step 04

Delivery & review

We execute, report on outcomes, and review the partnership at agreed intervals. Most of our partnerships run for multiple seasons.
