Sponsor Us
Aotearoa Crocodile Hunters is a New Zealand team. The team is keen to recognise New Zealand Products and Services and to represent those at XPD 2010.
Current sponsors of the team are uniquely New Zealand and include:
Icebreaker. With sustainability at the core of everything they do, Icebreaker garments work hard to move moisture away from your skin, keeping you cool in the heat of the day and insulating you from the cold when the temperature drops. Every Icebreaker is born outdoors and lives to get back out there - and we'll be making the most of that, with Icebreaker providing us with a range of their fantastic clothing.
Proactive Rehab. Vijay Vallabh at Proactive has been assisting Glen with his Specialist Exercise Therapy for a number of years now and at times (while shaking his head in amazement) been patching Glen back together from his numerous injuries. While Glen has consistently provided new and amazing injuries, Vijay has worked his magic in getting Glen back out in the wild and kept him hiking, cycling and paddling, i.e. keeping sane while doing the insane. In Glen’s words, “without Vijay in my life, my kids would have checked me into the Shona McFarlane Retirement Village years ago.“
Pink Design. Pink Design have supplied all design services (web site, branding, clothing logo design) for free and are our web site content mangers. Pink Design is establishing a reputation for New Zealand sports based design services with work for the Karapoti, CrazyMan and SBS Marathon included in the client base.
Cycle Centre. Andrew is a long term supplier of bikes and services in the Upper Hutt and has worked with Jamis Bikes to supply bikes for the team.
Better Than TV. Better Than TV is the event promotion and management vehicle for Shane and Jill Ross. A not for profit undertaking, Better Than TV events will contribute to the fundraising efforts for Aotearoa Crocodile Hunters.
Jamis Bikes. For 30 years, Jamis have concentrated on doing what they do best—designing and building the kinds of bikes we want to ride. The ones we love to ride.
Bridgedale Socks. Bridgedale set out to design and manufacture the most comfortable socks on the market; using the latest machinery, the most progressive designs and the most advanced yarn technology.
Support the Team
The team is also open to other sponsorship offers. The team is built around a few simple and key messages, which are:
- Support New Zealand made
- Showcase New Zealand to itself, and internationally
- Spend the money locally. We want to support local businesses where we can
- Present ourselves as an organised and competent team – but don’t lose sight of that Kiwi look and feel
Our sponsorship offering and commitment is also simple, and reflects a partnership based approach. It is:
- One sponsor per type / industry. We don’t want to send mixed messages to those supporting us. If we have you on board with your product / service, then we want to only promote you in this product / service range.
- Promotion. We will do all that we can to promote you and your services, and expect you to do the same.
- Value. We feel that we have a valuable offering with this offering, and will also value the commitment that you are making in providing your sponsorship.
What we can offer (depending on your level of commitment is):
- Placement of company logos and information, including links, on this team web site. This can include branded pages dedicated to your promotion
- Placement of logos on event clothing, including t shirts
- Use of your product / service within the event
There is also the option of naming rights for the team.
