The event attracts £150K’s worth of positive media coverage in local media and has more recently received significant positive coverage in prominent national and European skateboarding media.

The festival regularly achieves hugely positive responses from visitors, exhibitors, press, VIP’s and celebrities, and always proves to be an excellent co-operative venture between the public and private sector.

As event organisers, we seek to create active and creative relationships with sponsors in order to produce the very best results. The event attracts a hard to reach youth audience including many up and coming artists, extreme sports enthusiasts and key decision makers from high profile youth brands. HUB is a unique celebration, which for corporate sponsors will provide major opportunities for positive profile, association and brand promotion.

We are a team with significant experience in delivering award-winning successful local, national and international cultural events specialising in sport, music and maritime events and implementing major sponsorship programmes, committed to ensuring you and your organisation achieve your objectives from this partnership.

Communication with our audience is key to the success and growth achieved each year at the event, utilising in-depth research campaigns to identify what people want to see at the event; then using this information to introduce new elements such as the dirt jump and Bboy competitions widening the audience participation whilst monitoring existing elements to improve what we already have.
