    Work with us

    There are different ways to be part of our community

    Our community relationships take different forms. From long-term sponsorships and ambassador partnerships to local business offers and content collaborations, we look for opportunities where both sides can create something meaningful.

    1

    Community sponsorships

    We support selected clubs, organisations, initiatives and community programs where there is a strong connection to the people and areas Downtown Toyota serves.

    2

    Ambassadors & creators

    We also consider ambassador and creator relationships with people who can authentically connect with our audience, participate in community activity or create valuable UGC and social content.

    3

    Drive Rewards & Drive Local

    Not every great local business needs to be a formal sponsorship partner. Drive Rewards and Drive Local provide another way to connect with Downtown Toyota customers through a valuable local offer.

    Partnership criteria

    What we look for

    Every opportunity is different. These are some of the qualities we consider when reviewing sponsorships, ambassador relationships and community collaborations.

    Positive local impact

    We look for opportunities that contribute positively to local people, families, participation or community connection.

    2

    Shared values

    Strong relationships are built around trust, reliability, respect and a genuine commitment to the communities we serve.

    Local relevance

    We place particular value on opportunities connected with Brisbane, South East Queensland and the communities surrounding Downtown Toyota.

    4

    A genuine partnership fit

    We look for relationships where Downtown Toyota can contribute meaningfully and where there is a clear reason for both sides to work together.

    5

    Content & storytelling potential

    The ability to create authentic social content, UGC, community stories or engaging collaborative content can add meaningful value to a sponsorship or ambassador relationship.

    Local businesses

    Sponsorship not quite the right fit?

    Your business may still be a great fit for Drive Rewards or Drive Local. These programs connect Downtown Toyota customers with valuable offers from local businesses and provide another way to become part of our community network.
