CMU is now offering two kinds of sponsorship, enabling brands and music companies to connect with and engage music professionals, music makers, opinion formers and music fans by:

• Aligning themselves with our trusted and popular grass roots network.
• Communicating on a regular basis through CMU's credible media.
• Being seen to enable new and expanded 'support services' and 'online resources' for the UK music community.
• Utilising CMU's popular music news content for their own brand-owned media.

--------------------------------------------------

First, we have the CMU Supporter programme. This gives music companies, or brands who support music, the opportunity to give something back to the grass roots music community by supporting the news and information services we provide free of charge. There are more details about this programme here.

Second, we have Section Sponsorship. We are currently seeking commercial partners to specifically support certain sections of the CMU Music Network website, or certain CMU events or e-bulletins, or new iniatives we are developing.

This kind of sponsorship is managed in-house by Co-Editor Chris Cooke and also out-of-house by Paul Goodwin at Big Blue Star Marketing.

Packages currently being developed in-house include:

• Sponsorship of the new CMU Weekly e-bulletin.
• Sponsorship of the monthly CMU social networking and showcase night.
• Sponsorship of the returning CMU podcast and CMU-Tube video service.
• Sponsorship of the CMU Directory and our guides for new artists, DIY labels and those considering a career in the music business.
• Sponsorship of our new quarterly print publication CMU Beats.

Packages currently being offered by Big Blue Star Marketing include:

• Headline branding of a new consumer music news service utilising CMU content.
