Brand & business partnerships
The NZSO builds bespoke, high-profile brand and business partnerships, delivering national visibility and designed around our partners' own objectives and ROI.
We're an organisation committed to excellence, creativity, heritage and societal wellbeing, and our team takes a flexible approach to creating enduring, innovative and mutually beneficial alignments across a broad range of activities.
Our engagement across the country is growing. Each year, we connect with 140,000 music lovers through concerts, community, education and digital initiatives, and reach 1.9 million people on social media.
Partnering with us
The NZSO celebrates the partnerships that underwrite our ability to deliver powerful musical experiences to so many, and invites your business to play a part in making this available to all New Zealanders.
Partnerships start at $5,000 + GST, and every partnership is customised and collaborative, built around what matters to your business.
“The NZSO brand is powerful and connects with our customers and staff through our collaboration reflecting both organisations' dedication to excellence. Our financial sponsorship allows us to give back to the community through supporting the touring performing arts in New Zealand. NZSO is part of Aotearoa New Zealand's DNA and we are passionate about our involvement.”
