THE world’s leading social intelligence group has signed up as headline sponsor for the Martlets Hospice Snailspace.

The Snailspace campaign has already attracted more sponsors than the highly successful Snowdogs by the Sea last year.

Now Brandwatch, based in Church Street, Brighton, has agreed to be the main sponsor.

Katja Garrood, creative director at Brandwatch, said: “We are very excited to be involved in this project as, despite being a global company, our home town is Brighton.

“It is fantastic to be able to participate in and help facilitate an inclusive event that is good for the whole city, whilst at the same time helping Martlets, which provides such an important service for our community.

“There is a synergistic relationship between Brighton and Brandwatch’s success.

“Our people are consistently rated as one of the best things about our business.

“Being able to make a difference helps towards building a positive work culture which, in turn, helps us build great products.

“ Snailspace is an event we know our staff will love being part of as well as offering them plenty of creative opportunities.

“It’s a real win-win.

“We’ve always been pioneers in our space and we love that this campaign offers us a chance to really celebrate that spirit of innovation.”

Imelda Glackin, CEO Martlets Hospice, is delighted Brandwatch are now involved.

She said: “We are absolutely thrilled to have Brandwatch as headline sponsor for Snailspace.

“By backing this campaign, Brandwatch will help ensure that this event goes on to raise significant funds for patient care and our vital community services.

“However, more than this, having Brandwatch on board is a real endorsement of the importance and impact of the event on the city as a whole.

“It is a unique opportunity for Martlets, our event partners and sponsors.

“We are very excited to see what new opportunities and developments this partnership may bring.”

The snail sculptures will be popping up throughout the city, decorated by artists and community groups, and sponsored by businesses and individuals.

This will all be happening in the autumn.

The Snailspace campaign, in partnership with Wild in Art, has attracted more sponsors than the highly successful Snowdogs by the Sea and there are just a few more weeks until the deadline.
