Cost of sponsorship

One video = $50

Five videos = $200

Your logo and message go on the front of the video you sponsor, and they remain there for the life of the video — whether it’s seen the day it first appears or one year later.

Your ad — on video!

Want a video ad? We can do that, too! Contribute your own video to us (up to 12 seconds), or purchase just $500 in sponsorships, and we’ll shoot and produce the video for you, for no added cost! This video is yours to keep — to publish on your own site or bring to any other media source where you want to advertise.

3-Minute Egg and You — a perfect omelet!

Reach and impress thousands of well-educated, attentive, arts-focused viewers by sponsoring 3-Minute Egg.

Unlike print advertising, your logo and message are seen by everyone who watches a video. You can also target your sponsorship — maybe you want to reach theater-goers or primarily people in the visual arts scene. Only can target your message for specific arts audiences. Buy four sponsorship spots and get the fifth FREE — that’s five for the price of four. Run them back-to-back in a single week or spread them out over an entire month. Or reach thousands of people all over Minnesota by also sponsoring an episode on Twin Cities Public Television.3-Minute Egg

When you sponsor 3-Minute Egg, you also give unprecedented support to local artists — 3-Minute Egg focuses only on local artists creating new work, and the Egg gives back to these artists by allowing them to embed our videos, at no charge, directly onto their own Web sites. No other media source serves its community in this way.

While other print and broadcast media have trimmed arts coverage and staff, 3-Minute Egg has produced more than 300 videos through March 2010, attracting nearly 100,000 views.

Here’s a list of our wonderful sponsors and partners.

Our Eggs cover the spectrum of the Twin Cities arts horizon — one day it’s a dance or theater piece, the next we take you to a visual art exhibition, a poetry reading, a film premiere or a CD release concert. 3-Minute Egg gives back to the artists profiled here by allowing anyone and everyone to embed our videos into their own Web sites — at no charge!
