Lux Style Awards Offer Sponsorship Opportunities to Brands

Lux Style Awards offer sponsorship opportunities for brands for the second time in its history. Lux Style Awards 2013 will be held at Expo Lahore on the 4^th of July.

Although  Lux Style Awards have been taking place for the last ten years with Unilever the sole sponsor as well as the organizer of the event, for the last couple of years they’ve opened their gates to other brands share in the spotlight, at a price of course.

And this price is no milk money.  The cost of the lead sponsor is a whopping Rs.25 Million! And it’s pretty confusing as well. I mean, if they’re selling the lead sponsorship, where will Lux fit into all of this? Let’s say Zong takes up the lead sponsorship, will the awards then be called Zong Lux Style Awards? Doesn’t sound right, isn’t it?

But that’s what they told me?

Who?

The Catwalk people.

Catwalk productions is a modeling cum event organizer cum PR agency. In fact their PR wing is called Catalyst and mostly deals with restaurant launches, the new trend in this part of the world.

This whole empire is owned by Freiha Altaf, the model of yore. She has been handling all such groundwork of Unilever for the last many years. Of course the fact that she’s best of buddies with Fareshtay Aslam, the category manager of Lux at Unilever doesn’t hurt at all.

So the Catwalk people came to me to pitch the sponsorship proposal. And they offered the following packages:

Lead Sponsor worth PKR 25Mn

• Nomenclature:  XXXX LUX Style Awards
• Show to be opened with Sponsor brand mentioned by the hosts
• Sponsor brand name integrated in the script of the entire show
•  Brand Ambassador performance/appearance on show (If Any)
