The Global Row is one of the last great world firsts left to conquer.

We are looking for partners who wish to align their brand with a global expedition and to benefit from a unique sponsorship package.

We are seeking title and secondary sponsors as well as equipment and service suppliers. We are also seeking charitable donations.  

The previous expedition provided the a 200% return on investment for the title sponsor after only 3 months. The anticipated duration of the voyage was 18-22 months. An approximate Media/PR value of £1.2m was given for the total expedition coverage by Bell Pottinger - an independent PR company.

Using our past experience with expedition PR and sponsorship we aim to repeat (and better) this for the second Global Row challenge. We now have a dedicated PR and sponsorship co-ordinator who will work closely with your organisation to gain the best ROI for you and to maximise value for your involvement and support.  All packages will be tailor made to sponsor specifications.

We will encourage a relationship of communication and involvement from the outset.  This expedition can be used by your organisation to:
