BRX Pro Tip: Finding Your First Sponsors

Stone Payton: [00:00:02] And we are back with BRX Pro Tips. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you. Today, Lee, we want to talk about good strategies for finding your first two or three sponsors. What do you think?

Lee Kantor: [00:00:15] Well, when you’re launching a new studio in a market, the place I would look for sponsors is kind of where our existing studio partners have sponsors. So, if you look at the roster of shows at the studio partner level, you’ll see that they kind of have some usual suspects. Some of them are financial advisors, some of them are managed IT companies, CPAs, insurance, commercial real estate. I think that those are the kind of the industries or categories that I would look for if I was starting a new studio.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:53] And I would also talk to the studio partners and ask them, “Hey, how’d you get that CPA? Hey, what was kind of the angle for that financial advisor?” And I would talk to them because they’re a great resource, because they’ve already landed sponsors in those categories. And if it worked for them in their market, there’s no reason it shouldn’t work for you in yours.

Stone Payton: [00:01:14] Well, what I like about that strategy is you have such great immediate evidence for the use case that you can share with your potential clients. So, to me, that is definitely the low hanging fruit.

Sally-King-BenedictSally King Benedict is an Atlanta-based contemporary artist known for her vibrant and highly sought-after abstract paintings.

Born in Atlanta, Benedict developed an appreciation for beauty and art at a young age via her parents and their collections. She grew up next door to acclaimed art collector Doug Macon for whom her mother sold art. Via his gallery she was exposed to contemporary artists and she credits this upbringing for her, now successful, path.

After high school, Benedict went into the studio art program at the College of Charleston. While studying art, she worked for the interior designer Kathleen Rivers and jewelry designer Janet Gregg. These two bosses would prove to jumpstart Benedict’s career. With their support, an undergrad Benedict hosted her first show in Gregg’s Charleston King Street studio. And, the rest is history.

Now in her twelfth year as a professional artist, Benedict has made a national reputation for herself finding visual inspiration in her everyday world. Benedict paints modern mixed media works that range from her well-known female visages to pure abstract, all of which display her originality and playful, adventurous approach to color. Featuring rich colors, texture and expressive lines, her abstract paintings exhibit Benedict’s strong visual voice, capturing the spirit and feel of both a new and bygone era.

Benedict’s artwork and eye for all things design have captured the praise and attention of art enthusiasts, designers and press alike. She was named a “Most Stylish Southerner’ by Southern Living and has been featured in regional and national publications including Elle Décor, Architectural Digest, Coastal Living, Good Grit, Domino and Garden & Gun, among others.

“When I began this journey, my motivation was to pursue my passion and talent, challenge myself and make people happy…all while making a career,” says Benedict. “Today, my motivation is to maintain the integrity of fine art while growing the business into new markets and next level, art-forward product spaces.”

When Benedict isn’t painting or running the business, she can be found entertaining her other interests, which include music, yoga, gardening, cooking, wine and food, architecture, traveling, reading and outdoor adventuring with her family, including her husband, their 7-year-old son, dog and two cats.
