Testimonials from our Corporate Partners
BankSA prides itself on its extensive support of community events, and has some form of banking relationship with one in three South Australians. By partnering with the Adelaide Fringe, we’re able to strengthen that reach into the community, with both organisations committed to fostering a vibrant and creative future for South Australia. It is a true collaboration and there’s a real spirit of teamwork involved. The Fringe has gone from strength to strength and continues to set records, and the spin-off benefits for us, expand with it. The partnership achievements have been recognised along the way through national awards from organisations such as the Australian Business Arts Foundation, a fine accolade indeed. BankSA has a strong connection with South Australians and our partnership with the Fringe reinforces that, particularly amongst the younger age groups who are vital to the future of the State.

Network Ten Adelaide has proudly been associated with the Adelaide Fringe for many years and it is a relationship which we hold very dear. The Fringe is outside of the mainstream, it is different, edgy, funny, warm and colourful. Always exciting, never boring. The Fringe is a serious event without taking itself too seriously. These are all values which Network Ten tries to emulate in and portray to our audiences. Sponsorship of the Adelaide Fringe is an excellent branding opportunity for Network Ten Adelaide as we have a lot in common and attract a similar audience. It is a valuable partnership which we look forward to continuing for many years to come.

Lion Nathan have been friends and partners of the Adelaide Fringe for a number of years and over that time the benefits have been fantastic. Fringe's party atmosphere and leveraging opportunities have played an important role in developing premium brands such as Heineken, Tooheys Extra Dry and most recently Becks. The Fringe gets people out into the streets and venues of Adelaide and provides sociable, fun, entertaining and sometimes challenging experiences which open their minds to new and interesting things. Such great positive experiences are integral in making our brands part of a fun night out all year round.
