ACXPA Sponsorship Options
Put your brand in front of Australia’s largest CX & Contact Centre audience!
If you have a business that provides solutions for contact centres, customer experience, digital experience, employee experience or customer service, we offer a range of solutions to help you improve your brand awareness and generate lead opportunities directly to your target audience.
The Australian Customer Experience Professionals Association (ACXPA) is a new industry body launched in September 2022 to provide a new alternative for individuals, businesses, and vendors working in our growing industry.
While we might be a new association, ACXPA has evolved from the incredible legacy of CX Central, which, for 12 years, has been the leading resource for contact centre and customer experience professionals in Australia.
With a world-class website and resources, the largest audience in Australia of contact centre, customer experience, digital experience and customer service professionals, and an unrivalled passion and commitment to supporting our industry, ACXPA is the perfect partner to help you grow your business.

A list of Frequently Asked Questions about our Sponsorship Packages:
What’s the difference between a Sponsorship and a Vendor Membership?
The good news is both help you increase brand awareness and generate leads!
A Sponsorship Package provides you with significantly more brand awareness opportunities via advertising tiles along with access to exclusive sponsor-only tools and privileges to increase brand awareness and generate leads.
A Vendor Membership provides you with a listing in the official ACXPA Supplier Directory, the ability to add an upcoming event to the industry Events Calendar and individual memberships you can allocate to employees that enable them to access the Individual Members Directory, publish articles and join our private forums – great tools to help them increase the professional network and build trust within the community (that will ultimately help you sell!).
Do we need to have a Vendor Membership to access the Sponsorship Packages?
No, however, an ACXPA Vendor Membership provides your business with a range of tools and resources to help you to increase your brand awareness and generate leads, including:
- Listing your business on the ACXPA Supplier Directory
- Publishing articles on the ACXPA website
- Publishing Press Releases about significant milestones in your business
- Promoting your upcoming events on the Industry Events Calendar
So whilst it’s not compulsory, it is recommended!

What are the demographics of your audience/members?
With tightening privacy laws, it’s getting more and more difficult to obtain meaningful data, but what we can tell share from the Subscriber and Membership base:
- Frontline (9%)
- Team Leaders/Supervisors (17%)
- Managers (23%)
- Senior Manager (13%)
- Executives (15%)
- Senior Executives (8%)
- Consultants (11%)
- Self Employed/Small Business Owner (4%)
Whilst we understand the desire for decision-makers, we work in a fast-moving industry.
With 75% of contact centre managers starting on the phones as an example, we have a deliberate strategy to also engage with the frontline (i.e. we have over 23,000 followers on our Call Centre Legends page) as they will be the next Team Leaders and Managers so it’s important to build our brand awareness and trust with them throughout their entire journey.
What is the price guide for the Sponsorship Packages?
We have a range of different Sponsorship Packages to help you achieve your objectives, with prices starting at $8,000 per year.
So rather than spend your marketing budget at a conference that’s over in a couple of days and organised by professional Events companies with no vested interest in our industry, invest in a sponsorship package that delivers for your business all year round.
Are we able to send a EDM direct to your membership database?
No is the short answer, as they typically have very little to no engagement and damage the ability to communicate effectively to our members (who get sick of repeated sponsored messages from Vendors).
We go out of our way to ensure our members have full control over the information they receive from us, including what type of emails they receive from us.
However… As a sponsor, you can include a post in our monthly newsletter that is sent to all members.
You also have access to a weekly ‘Special Offers’ email that contains a consolidated list of offers that members can choose to opt in or out of.
Do you offer sponsored podcasts or webinars?
As a Vendor Member, you can promote any of your upcoming Podcasts/webinars directly on the Events Calendar to increase exposure and attendees.
There are also opportunities for our Sponsors to participate in our CX Matters Podcast and Member symposiums that can help position your nominated brand ambassadors as thought leaders/subject matter experts etc.
The only caveat is that all our content is designed to educate and inspire, so you cannot market your products directly!
As a sponsor, we can also assist with your podcasts, webinars, conferences etc. by involving our CEO or Advisory Board members and then cross-promoting the event via our channels.
We have also recently introduced our Vendor Showcase page that will enable you to promote your products and services via a recorded video(s) with us that can be used to generate leads and distribute on social media to increase brand awareness.
