Aircoach
Since the beginning of this year and in conjunction with the launch of our Derry to Dublin route, Aircoach has partnered with The Millennium Forum as centre stage sponsor. From our initial discussions right through to the Fame bus tour, event activations and promotional activity, Millennium Forum has been proactive, creative, agile and an absolute pleasure to deal with. The Millennium Forum partnership has helped to elevate our brand awareness in the North West as well as to actively engage with our audience. We were delighted to be part of the recent youth musical, FAME and to support the development of arts and culture amongst the younger generation. The Arts and Business funding was instrumental in helping to achieve this. That funding allowed us to support the youth musical by taking FAME on tour to, and performing at, several iconic landmarks around Derry/Londonderry City. The experience was such fun and so professionally organised. It was a fabulous showcase of youth talent and a platform for those involved in the musical to build their confidence and pride. Their love of the performing arts was very evident in their infectious enthusiasm throughout the event and as sponsors, we were gratified in the knowledge that we had invested in an event that will have a positive impact in these young lives and hopefully instill a love of arts and culture as they continue through life – Celine Coleman (Commercial Manager)
