Partnership Prospectus

Put your brand inside the story.

An officially licensed Highlanders FC feature film, produced by Ya-Sibo Media (Private) Limited, trading as Junza Studios, in co-production with the club — with rights to its name, crest, colours, and history. A limited number of companies are being invited to join as founding commercial partners ahead of principal photography.

Why This Partnership

Reach that outlasts a single moment.

Direct association with one of Zimbabwe's most recognised sporting institutions, at a significant moment in the club's history.

Reach across premieres, streaming, community screenings and, subject to a broadcast licence, national television.

Access to Highlanders' national and diaspora supporter base — South Africa, the UK, Botswana, Australia, and beyond.

Full category exclusivity is reserved for Principal Partners, and on-screen placements are capped at 56 slots so the film keeps its authenticity.

The Value of Partnering

What your brand gets inside the film.

Four things every business owner should know before choosing a placement. Tap any graphic to see it full size.

Schedule & Release

From pre-production to premiere, and beyond.

The film is released in windows, so your placement keeps being seen long after premiere night. The premiere, paid streaming and community screenings come first, followed by television and a free YouTube release.

Partnership Tiers

Four ways to partner with the film.

Reveal a tier's investment range below, or download the full rate cards. All amounts are in USD.

A small number of major category leaders

Principal Partner

On-screen brand integration within the film — signage, wardrobe or product usage — locked ahead of principal photography. Prominent placement across trailer, premiere and press materials, a producer-credit conversation, first right of refusal on renewal, and premiere executive seating.

Category-exclusive · one brand per category
$15,000 – $25,000
The standard corporate sponsorship tier

Official Partner

A Premium logo appearance and a digital billboard in the film, plus guaranteed advertising across the streaming release and screenings, including pre/mid-roll on the streaming platform. Premiere-night mention and end-credits sponsor card. TV placement is not guaranteed. If a broadcast deal is secured, Official and Principal Partners are prioritised at no extra cost.

Not category-exclusive
$5,000 – $12,000
On-screen presence at a lower cost of entry

Product Placement Partner

Individual on-screen slots — product use, signage, dialogue mentions and end-credit listings — sold individually or in bundles. The full slot list and bundles are in the rate card below.

Non-exclusive · 56 slots in total
From $50 per slot
Partners tied to a specific moment

Event Partner

Presence and recognition tied to a specific moment — premiere night, a launch event or a screening — rather than the whole campaign.

Confirmed on request

Every partner, at every tier, receives brand association across the tier's agreed touchpoints, mentions across companion content, recognition in campaign communications, premiere executive seating (tier-dependent), and a single point of contact on our team throughout.

Advertising Rate Card

Be part of the film, not just an ad around it.

To protect the film's authenticity, commercial visibility is capped at 56 slots across two tiers. Premium covers product placement, digital signage and prominent visibility; SME covers affordable local integration. All placements are non-exclusive and secured before filming.

Payment & reservation. Every partnership is tailored, so we agree the details, timing and payment schedule together. Contact us to reserve your slot or bundle. Corporate tier payments are made directly to the movie's corporate bank account on agreed milestones — signing, principal photography and delivery — with no third-party intermediaries. All amounts are quoted and invoiced in USD.
