This proposal is for Rockshox, SRAM and Giro to be one of the second
​tier sponsors of the XTERRA Rotorua Festival.

XTERRA Rotorua Festival

​Since its inception 19 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 Rockshox, SRAM and Giro logos on signs, netting, websites and EDM's is very important, but for SRAM and Giro to stay ahead of its competition, Rockshox, SRAM and Giro need to inspire its community.  Inspiration is the bridge between the community and you.

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