Welcome to #PinkNicky’s Blog, for your weekly dose of adventure ideas.
It’s Saturday morning, so grab your tea and toast. This week I need your help! We are looking for Flag sponsors for our Annual International Women’s Day Sea Swim, Brighton 2024. Our event is set to the the biggest open water swim in the UK in support of International Women’s Day.
- We are busy planning our Annual Mega Sea Swim to celebrate International Women’s Day on March 9th, in Brighton. Our aim is to unite 500+ sea swimmers to create a colourful, sparkly spectacle on Brighton Beach, with swimmers participating from across the South East and beyond.
- We are looking for flag sponsors; it would suit businesses that are looking to reach new customers in the very active wild swimming community. The opportunity would suit businesses in the following women’s sectors: physical and mental health, well-being, menopause, adventures, snacks, wild swimming activities, retreats, swimming events, swimming-related costumes, clothing, apparel, and kit, (especially pink kit – PinkNicky’s Blog is built on pink!)
Please could you help us spread the word about the event (forward, share or tag) to Businesses that you think would love to meet the South Coast’s very active sea swimming community, to raise their business profile via a 6 week social media campaign and meet 500+ potential customers face to face on the day.
