3 Preface The University of Bristol EFM (Economics, Finance and Management) Society aims to bring likeminded, driven and conscientious students together, both within and beyond the academic environment.

As the only society associated with the School of Economics, Finance and Management, we aim to create a well-networked group of highly motivated students studying a wide range of disciplines, whilst aiming to provide an ‘extra layer’ to our students’ university experience.

Over the past year, we have grown in both strength and size, in terms of coverage across the university and the connections we form between students and their careers. As a result, the EFM Society has blossomed into one of the largest societies in Bristol, with a strong social media presence reaching out to over 1600 members, over 7 platforms. In September, this is likely to increase even more as the School expands, with roughly 580 new students expected to join.

Whilst our gender composition is roughly even, as is the case throughout the faculty, our pool of students varies hugely in terms of background and national identity, comprising a diverse array of members, all of whom have high potential to succeed in their future careers.

We also have strong links with other departments and societies, which allows for increased campuswide exposure and ensures that our members are kept informed of the variety of opportunities available to them. Our relationships with the Banking and Investment Society, Law Club and many more gives us the opportunity to further our influence across the university.

hosting of the Women in Business and Law Conference. We aim to build upon this, providing students with a plethora of extra-curricular functions to engage in this year.

This Sponsorship Proposal aims to provide you with more knowledge about the society, showing you how we operate and giving you the opportunity to develop, or continue, a relationship with ourselves.

Our decision to move to a ‘catalogue’ sponsorship structure rather than a ‘tiered’ system is based upon providing sponsors with more flexibility and transparency in agreements.

We hope that you enjoy reading this Proposal, and – should you choose to sponsor EFM – we intend to provide you with huge value through interaction with our diverse, high-potential student base over the coming year. A large part of our society is based around guiding our members into their future careers. As such, our sponsors – whom students may choose to pursue careers with - are the foundation of our existence. With your support, we believe that a mutually beneficial partnership will allow you to access some of the best undergraduates in the country.

We look forward to hearing from you, and please get in touch should you have any queries, at my personal email: jh14545@my.bristol.ac.uk.

Kind regards, James Harrison President of The EFM Society

This year, with the hard work of a dedicated committee, we have huge ambitions in each of the four areas we operate in – our Careers; Academic; Social and Sport sectors – to match our expansion in size. We see our range of activities as a fantastic opportunity for our members, allowing them to meet new people and form networks, enjoying their university life by engaging in their subjects and the industries they wish to progress into.

The past year has been packed with activities and events ranging from the university-renowned EFM Christmas Ball to networking events and our joint-

February, and is open to all members across all year groups.

SPORTS Sports Kits EXCLUSIVE (£600 + VAT per sport) The prevalence and success of EFM Sports Teams in the intramural leagues makes sponsorship of team kits an exciting proposition.

• Two EFM Football Teams • EFM Cricket Team • EFM Hockey Team • EFM Netball Team

The exclusive prospect of your company’s logo on all sport merchandise allows extensive brand exposure to many

students across the university, in matches against other societies, clubs and faculties. With regular updates on sports teams across our social media platforms, with photos uploaded on a regular basis, brand exposure will spread even further.

Inter-University EFM Sports Day EXCLUSIVE (£700 + VAT) The inter-university sports day will be a chance for a variety of universities to congregate together, invited to Bristol by the EFM Society, to engage in matches involving the intramural sports teams. This is likely to be an extremely
