About the expert

Jackie Fast is the managing director of Slingshot, a specialist sponsorship agency. Having identified a gap in the market whilst developing the sponsorship department for the Direct Marketing Association UK (DMA), she established Slingshot to foster sponsor partnerships on behalf of companies and organisations to generate alternative revenue streams. 

Through the course of her career in sponsorship marketing and management, Jackie has honed her professional expertise in creating strategic partnerships, business development and managing client relations specifically within the burgeoning field of sponsorship. Prior to joining the DMA, she gained diverse international sponsorship experience through serving as a strategic consultant and business development manager in Canada where she secured funding for specialised hospital projects across the country and managed promotional partnerships.

Enthusiastic and dedicated to expounding the value of sponsorship to the marketing industry, Jackie frequently contributes articles on sponsorship to marketing trade magazines, has appeared on DMA TV, and has amassed a keen following among leading industry practitioners on Twitter (@JackieFast and @Slingshot_UK).
