Saab announces sponsorship of The Nomad
Saab has announced their sponsorship of a brand new cinema experience: The Nomad – Driven by Saab.
The Nomad is an exciting, roaming pop-up cinema experience that is set to tour 150 locations across the UK. Having perfected the art of ‘cinema al fresco’, the Nomad will be showcasing an eclectic selection of films, ranging from classics to cult, noir and silent to mainstream guilty pleasure films, screenings will be held in beautiful and unexpected locations both in-door and out, from castles and abbeys to theatres, ballrooms and country house estates.
As part of the package, developed and negotiated by Carat Sponsorship via Pearl and Dean, Saab will also be showcasing a series of themed film events, bringing to life and celebrating its ethos of Independent Thinking.
The Nomad’s first cinema viewing will take place in Stevenage on 13th March. Visit whereisthenomad.com for more details. The Nomad cinema experience immerses audiences not only in the film but adds elements of theatre, music dressing and performance and this year’s nationwide tour is expected to attract more than 130,000 film lovers. Carat Sponsorship and Saab GB will be working closely with The Nomad to jointly market these events using a variety of traditional and more unconventional promotion.
