Sponsorships
Establishing strategic business partnerships that drive positive social and public health outcomes in our communities.
Our Strategic Priorities
Sponsorships are an integral component of our social purpose strategy and an important part of TELUS’ brand marketing activities. We select sponsorships that help us fulfill our commitment to creating sustainable communities where we live, work and serve and that help bring our brand promise to life.
Sponsorships are evaluated carefully against the following criteria:
- Business value: how can this sponsorship drive shared value?
- Brand awareness and affinity: how will this sponsorship promote TELUS’ let’s make the future friendly® brand promise and deliver positive brand experiences?
- Brand engagement: how can this sponsorship create authentic customer and community experiences by showcasing our innovative products, services and technologies?
- Positive social and public health outcomes: how will this sponsorship support TELUS’ social purpose by creating remarkable outcomes in the areas of health?
- Team member engagement: how can we connect this sponsorship to TELUS employees in a meaningful way and advance our corporate culture?
