What We Do for Our Sponsors

ListenUp! Long Island provides sponsors with exposure across multiple channels, including

  • Featured recognition on our podcast

  • Social media

  • Video content

  • And on-site presence at our music and arts festivals

Our sponsors directly supports the local arts community by funding performances and ensuring artists are paid, giving brands an authentic, purpose-driven role in uplifting Long Island culture.

In addition, our sponsors benefit from our professional content creation services such as:

  • Video production

  • Graphic design

  • And Social media and marketing campaigns

Not Just Visibility-Lasting Content Value

We approach sponsorships differently by focusing on authentic, community-driven partnerships rather than one-dimensional branding.

Instead of only pursuing large national sponsors, we collaborate with a diverse range of local businesses like music shops, drink companies, and insurance companies, creating a mosaic of partners rooted in Long Island’s creative community.

Since our Sponsors aren’t limited to logo placement—we provide sponsors with exposure through audio, video, and in-person experiences, while simultaneously uplifting local talent and fueling the region’s creative economy.
