Thank you to our 2007 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 following charitable
initiatives for young people: TVYP, Fast Track, TVYP at Work and TVYP One Day Events.
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: caroline.doughty@mgeitf.co.uk
We would like to thank the following 2007 MGEITF sponsors for their much-valued support:
