Sponsorship Proposal

Dear ExOfficio Public Relations Director, My name is Suzi Eszterhas, and I’m an award-winning wildlife photographer based in northern California. Over the last 20 years I have traveled all seven continents capturing images in the wild, and ExOfficio is my field attire of choice. I am reaching out to explore the possibility of establishing a mutually beneficial sponsorship agreement with ExOfficio.

Attached you’ll find some candid images of my work in the field, wearing your products.

(I think you may see some common ground with your print ads.) I have chased off brown bears, ran from snakes, stood face-to-face with gorillas, and hugged sloths – all in your clothes.

My full bio is also attached.

A few more reasons why I hope you may be interested in a partnership: • • •

• •

First, I am a very prolific professional with more than 100 magazine feature and cover stories published, and 12 book titles to my name.

This has led to regular interviews and media coverage about my work and adventures on the web, in print, and on the radio.

I regularly lecture at professional photography and environmental conferences about my work, adventures, and conservation efforts. The Q&A sessions invariably include gear recommendations.

I lead photography tours all over the world and recommend specific gear to all my clients both in person and in my tour documentation.

My social media following and mailing list exceed 25,000 followers.

I’d love to talk to you if you think this is something that may interest ExOfficio. I do appreciate your time and consideration. (And please consider this a fan letter).

Sincerely, Suzi Eszterhas
