You Can Sponsor The IQ Awards for Innovation!

As a successful provider of business services, products and expertise, you want to carefully select the events you sponsor, choosing the ones that associate your company with other reputable businesses, increase your exposure to a targeted pool of potential customers, and help sustain the industry that supports your company’s growth.

The Boulder County Business Report provides the best opportunity to associate your company with 500 of the most progressive, successful businesspeople in the Boulder Valley. If you’re looking for an opportunity to grow your client base and build lasting relationships with the local business community’s top rising stars, your direct route to success can come from sponsoring the 2008 IQ Awards!

The IQ Awards brings together business leaders who are recognized as creative, innovative and progressive. Our key sponsors know that the time to establish relationships with these companies is when they’re on the way up. This is exactly when they need professional expertise in financial management, human resources, brand development, travel assistance and a variety of other business services.

The BEST way to meet your next client - and to show you are a prime key player in the local business arena - is by becoming a sponsor of the IQ Awards!

Call Chris Wood, Business Report director of marketing and event sales, at (303) 440-4950 or e-mail him at cwood@bcbr.com to receive a media kit detailing Business Report event sponsorships.
