Service Provider Memberships

AYU Service Provider Membership

Why do we partner with Service Providers?

Our primary goal at AYU is to make our members’ businesses more successful. Our members are hedge funds, family offices, institutional investors and a highly select number of service providers (never more than 5% of our total membership). By partnering with a small number of best-in-class service providers we improve our offering to all members and improve our members’ chances of success.

How do our Service Provider partnerships work?

In collaboration with prospective partners, we explore what they want to achieve and if we can help them achieve it. If we can help, we design an AYU platform strategy and package which fits in with their internal marketing strategy and goals. These packages combine a range of deliverables over multiple channels including event sponsorship, video content, key-person interviews and insight, copy-based thought leadership and social media brand awareness. We believe in a holistic, portfolio and campaign approach to marketing, deployed over extended and considered periods of time. Our aim is for our partners to be recognised as best-in-class in the long-term. In order to achieve this status, our service provider membership campaigns are designed as marathons, not sprints.

What do our Service Provider partnerships look like?

We are not simply an advertising platform. We are a private members’ community connecting people and ideas digitally and in person. Our service provider partners become our members, on an individual and personal basis as well a business one. You and your team join AYU so you can build unique, idiosyncratic relationships. Every business is different, so no two of our partnerships are the same. However, each of our partnerships will include some (or all) of the below:

• Membership to AYU with a dedicated category seat in a dedicated market e.g UK Prime Broker, US Custodian or European Exchange, singling your brand out as the go-to category lead or in your target market. Multiple seats can be bought across categories and markets. Once you own a seat, it’s yours - no competitor can buy the same seat as you.

• Event sponsorship - in person or virtual, for sole sponsor or multiple sponsors on a thematic basis.

• Right of first refusal on event sponsorship opportunities, the priority to reserve sponsorship opportunities in front of competitors.

• Introductions and relationship development within the AYU community.

• Content and storytelling - your content, content we make together, copy and video, published across platforms.

• Multi-channel distribution - web, app, chat, social, email.
