production role

For this production I was assigned the marketing role with Saxona. Overall it didn't go well because I didn't not manage to secure any donations or sponsorships. I think that the main aspect for the failure in the production role was time. I didn't manage to get hold of Sax outside college times therefore I decided to take matters to my own hand by writing the letter. I hoped that she was going to help me spread the letter round to potential targets since the production was based around fashion. After a few weeks of no progress I started sending the letter to big companies such as H&M , Next , New look and others. The emails I sent were straight to their administrators and some took a week for the replies. All the replies gave me an email to redirect my enquiry. At this point it was a fortnight away from the show and I sent out the emails. Some of the companies notified me that their charity enquiries can take up to six weeks for me to get a response , others said they don't support charity works as they run their own charities and some said they will get back to me a decision in the coming weeks. Having received the production role I should have done my research to how long it takes and what companies Do and what companies Don't support individual projects. A positive would have been that I attempted my role and if I was going to be assigned this role in the future I would have my later ready earlier and reach out to more companies because the more companies I required with the higher the chance of us getting some sponsorship.

Hi my name is Magic Sine Sibanda currently studying musical theatre at Worthing College. I have been put in charge of the marketing for this production. Cats will be our last performance and by far the most memorable because of the sheer amount of dedication and preparation that is going into it.

Our version of the traditional Musical, reflects on the different roles & personalities that can be found in the Fashion Industry and also touches on the concept of people having another chance in life through a character who is despised by all the others in the play. Fashion is very important to people because it represents who they are and can portray different aspects of their personalities.

In order to accurately reflect our theme we need to have lots of glamorous clothing and it made sense to turn to you for donations of any shiny or sparkly clothing that you do not use or need!

Anything donated would be very much appreciated, as we are planning to have two rails filed with clothing. In return you will get your logo in our program, free tickets to all your staff members that may be interested in attending the show and lots of happy faces.
