COQUITLAM, B.C., August 28, 2024 – Coquitlam’s Corporate Partners program offers exciting opportunities for local businesses to play a pivotal role in community events, fostering a stronger, more connected Coquitlam.
By partnering with the City, businesses can deepen their local ties, enjoy increased exposure, and help ensure community events continue to thrive, benefiting everyone involved.
Unlike traditional advertising, sponsorship creates deeper, more experiential connections. Each agreement is customized to ensure that sponsorship opportunities align with business objectives – with strong partnerships, everyone wins.
Connect with your Community
Since its launch in 2015, Coquitlam’s Corporate Partners Program has grown into one of the premier municipal sponsorship initiatives in the province. The City’s many events and programs, many of which are offered free of charge thanks to the meaningful partnerships we’ve forged, are widely recognized across metro Vancouver. Whether though entry-level sponsorships or prestigious Presenting Partnerships and Naming Rights, businesses have found rewarding ways to make a lasting impact on the community while helping to elevate public events.
Some standout partnerships include FortisBC’s support of Coquitlam’s Block Party program, Emperor Stone’s sponsorship of Tree Spree tree giveaways, and the various local businesses that sponsor Canada Day in Coquitlam, the biggest event in the tri-cities.
Discover the Power of Partnership
Becoming a Corporate Partner is about engaging with the community in a way that leaves a lasting impression. In return, Coquitlam offers a suite of benefits tailored to individual business needs, including on-site activations at major events, logo visibility across digital and print platforms, and recognition on the City’s social media channels and website.
