THE PROPOSAL

Picture
This proposal is for Torpedo7 to be the title sponsor of the XTERRA Rotorua Festival.

XTERRA Rotorua Festival

​Since its inception 18 years ago, the XTERRA Rotorua Festival has grown to become one of the best XTERRA events in the world.

Each year we offer nine events for competitors to choose from and are set in and around Rotorua’s Blue Lake and Whakarewarewa Forest.

​It is without question amongst the most beautiful scenery in New Zealand.


Our community is made up of intelligent, affluent, decision-making people.  These outdoor active consumers are very loyal and emotionally attached to brands who support XTERRA.

COMMUNITY

Placement of the Torpedo7 logo on finisher towers, medals, race numbers and in social media posts is very important, but for Torpedo7 to stay ahead of its competition, Torpedo7 needs to inspire its community.  Inspiration is the bridge between the community and Torpedo7.

Inspiration is made up of emotion and emotions are fuelled by connections.  Unite these connections together with an event and Torpedo7 will have power.  Power leads competitors to action.  More action more sales for Torpedo7.
 
The emotion associated with an outdoors event is huge.  Partnering with the XTERRA Rotorua Festival gives Torpedo7 the ability to form relationships with competitors.  Resulting in Torpedo7 being an inspirational leader making lifelong connections with consumers.
