Rainey Stricklin, vice president of marketing for PrideBucks, said the party would take place this year on Jan. 4 in the penthouse suite of the Venetian Hotel. Aside from the standard fair of an open bar and hors d’oeuvres, Stricklin said the party will also feature a live gay sex show where webmasters can shoot free content.
“This event is very popular with webmasters, as they are invited to bring cameras and snap up all of the free content they want,” said Stricklin. “We provide model releases on the spot.”
Stricklin said companies that wish to sponsor the event would receive heavy pre-party marketing, have their brands displayed throughout the evening and continue to be promoted long after the last drop of champagne has been licked off someone’s butt crack.
Branding opportunities include placement of a 120x60 button on the official QFest party page, the freedom to place or pass out advertising materials during the party, co-branding on drinking cups and napkins and a non-exclusive license and copy of the photos taken by the official party photographer.
Sponsors can also have their logo or company name on two sponsor banners displayed during the event and on all other promotional media, including their logo/url and two lines of text on a full gloss postcard-sized playbill.
Stricklin said QFest 2006 sponsors also would get first right of refusal for QFest 2007.
