Commercial Partnerships

We are passionate about creating mutually beneficial commercial partnerships with like minded and ambitious organisations.

Our team includes award-winning sponsorship specialists, led by hands-on approach from the IWG Secretary General, Rachel Froggatt. Rachel has 18 years’ global experience in sponsorship, working with major global sponsors in Formula 1 and other motorsports, football, rugby and Paralympic sport. Major clients have included Allianz (Mercedes F1; FC Bayern Munich), Shell (Ferrari F1 and Ducati MotoGP), NTT DoCoMo (Renault F1) and Ford (Champions League).

Now based in New Zealand, she was most recently Commercial & Marketing Director for the New Zealand Paralympic Committee (Paralympics New Zealand) on both a global and local level. She led the team that developed a number of long-term partnerships with Toyota (contract – Japan), ACC, Cadbury (contract – Australia), Harvey Norman (contract – Australia), Visa (Contract – Singapore), Sanford and Tower Insurance. Rachel’s team won the 2017 New Zealand Sport & Recreation Award for Commercial Partnerships excellence and the 2016 New Zealand Not-for-Profit Marketing Award in recognition of its successful programme.
