The San Sebastián Festival announces official sponsorship of the event for the next two years by Make & Mark, a business group specialised in creating value for brands and institutions by means of communication, marketing and premium experiences.
This partnership represents a natural step forward and significant growth in the relationship between both enterprises. The collaboration between the company and the film festival enjoyed a successful launch last year with sponsorship of the Horizontes Latinos section.
Following the excellent reception and results of said experience, the Make & Mark Group has decided to notably increase and boost its involvement, now placing itself on the front line of support for the festival as official sponsor.
In the words of Christian Septien, CEO at Make & Mark: “We are increasing our sponsorship due to our satisfaction with last year’s outcome”. As well as consolidating presence of the brand in a constantly growing global market, this movement obeys the company’s foundational philosophy. “Make & Mark boasts important commitment to culture and sport, and sponsoring a prestigious festival such as this is yet another indication of that”, adds Christian.
For his part, the Festival director, José Luis Rebordinos, welcomes Make & Mark as official sponsor and extends his gratitude to the company for a greater involvement which will “undoubtedly, be beneficial for both parties”. “This sponsorship for the next two years with the prestigious company Make & Mark enables us to continue focusing on talent, diversity and the creation of stories that connect with audiences all over the world. We are very pleased about this”, he says.
With this strategic agreement, Make & Mark confirms its position as a business platform which enjoys strong growth within the sector of premium events and experience-based marketing. Its consolidation as official sponsor of the San Sebastián Festival reflects the sound nature of its business model and its firm commitment to cultural projects of maximum international outreach.
