Jackie Fast is the Founder of Slingshot Sponsorship. Having started her business from her bedroom with just £2K, she has grown it into an innovative strategic sponsorship sales agency based in Central London with offices worldwide that sold after only 6 years for several million pounds. Launched with the belief that sponsorship has evolved and now has the ability to truly transform businesses, Slingshot has successfully taken their strategic commercial framework and applied it to the world’s leading brands who want to take their investment beyond eyeballs and awareness.
Some of Slingshot’s clients have included Sir Richard Branson, the Rolling Stones, the Mayor of London, GB Taekwondo, Spotify, Bloodhound, IBM, Universal Music, Haymarket Consumer Publishing, Renault, Wales Rally GB, E.ON, and Shell – all with the desire to take sponsorship further.
In 2017, Fast published her first book, Pinpoint, which has become an Amazon #1 best-seller in Marketing and Sales. The book shows you the pitfalls to avoid to ensure how virtually anyone can succeed.
Fast is also a Non-Executive Board Director of the European Sponsorship Association, one of the youngest Board Directors in the association’s history. Her primary responsibility on the board is as Chairman of the ESA Excellence Awards Committee. Over its 6 years of existence, Slingshot Sponsorship has grown to work across numerous verticals with clients ranging from grassroots charities, leading FTSE 100 companies, global music artists, startups and entrepreneurs.
