SPONSORS & PARTNERS

Atlantic Campaigns SL are the organisers of The World's Toughest Row. The World's Toughest Row is a world-renowned Ocean rowing event which generates media coverage across 120 countries, reaching over 20 million people.

Recent events have been covered by the BBC and other international news outlets across the globe. Your sponsorship of The Old See Dogs will give you and your brand excellent exposure and marketing opportunities.

Anyone who sponsors or funds The Old See Dogs in any way, automatically gains membership of the Old See Dogs team. We are a TEAM without a CLUBHOUSE, we are the Ocean Rowing version of Rugby's Barbarians!!!

FUNDING

To enable me to even get to the starting line, I require financial help from both individual and corporate partners. The operational costs are massive, around £120,000, which includes purchasing the boat (this figure includes the purchase price of a brand-new boat, however this could be reduced to around £100,000 if a second-hand boat was purchased), boat trailer, shipping costs, training courses, food, flights, accommodation, and all the equipment which will be required on board. In short, I need you to help me, so that I can help others!

There are several funding options available ranging from “The 250 Club” at a cost of £250, to a series of corporate bespoke options at £5,000, £10,000, £15,000 plus a Headliner Partner Package. Each of these options would provide you with different levels of branding on the boat, as well as different levels of inclusion on the “Old See Dogs” website. 



If I am lucky enough to secure a Headline Partner who is willing to purchase the boat at an estimated cost of £80,000 then the boat would become their property and be named as they chose. On completion of the event, a resale figure of around £60,000 could be achieved.

PUBLICITY

Through cooperation with Atlantic Campaigns, “The Old See Dogs” will draw on well-established media outlets to generate publicity for my crossing of the Atlantic, both in the build up to December 2025, and during and after the actual race. My independent media campaign will additionally work to amplify my message through radio, newspapers, magazines, and social media, allowing our generous sponsors and their brands to be highlighted throughout the world..

As an example of recent media coverage, in 2016 there were 3,250 pieces of coverage generated across 120 countries, including 39 articles in international newspapers, 178 pieces of international online coverage, 85 regional broadcast features, and over 2 hours of coverage on the BBC. Social media coverage reached 20.1 million people, with 3.7 million watching videos of the Challenge and active engagement from 1.2 million.



Articles appeared worldwide across national and broadcast news from Sky News to CNN to Rolling Stone Italia. This is the kind of exposure that your brand could have with advertising space on the boat.
