In a recent study carried out by Sussex Arts Marketing called ‘Get in on the Act’ it concluded that “small and large businesses have much to gain from sponsoring the arts. A higher public profile, great networking opportunities, better staff moral and opportunities to impress clients were the main benefit of sponsorship and offered a significant opportunity for both local and national brands to develop fruitful and engaging sponsorship”.

The study involving a series of in-depth interviews with groups of small and medium sized businesses, which have sponsored the arts over the past three years. These found that most small firms were glad they had put money into events and had brought their businesses innumerable benefits.

Arts & Business say "The arts positively enhance our lives and provide an enormous economic benefit to our country. Sponsoring the arts is a proven, cost effective and highly visible strategic marketing tool. It is one of the most powerful ways to reinforce your corporate image, allowing you to promote your company's name, logo, product or services to a wider community. Furthermore, many businesses use the arts not only to motivate staff and promote teamwork, but also to nurture creativity in the workplace - the key to competitive advantage in the 21st Century"
