The Challenge
Youthline relied heavily on a single major partnership that accounted for around 80% of their revenue – a risky position for any organisation.
They recognised the need to take more ownership of that relationship and to build a more sustainable mix of partners.
The challenge was knowing how to define their value in a way that resonated with brands, and how to approach potential partners with confidence and clarity.
The Solution
Honoco helped Youthline reframe how they viewed and structured partnerships. We worked together to:
Identify value
Mapped the products, services, and community reach Youthline already had, and highlighted which of these held the most value for potential partners.
Define fit
Outlined what brand alignment could look like, showing how partnerships could support both Youthline’s mission and a partner’s goals.
Build tools for growth
Developed a valuation framework, proposal templates, and a toolkit to help Youthline pitch, negotiate, and manage partnerships with confidence.
The Outcome
The process helped Youthline grasp how they could operate with commercial strength while still leading with purpose.
They retained their major partner under a more sustainable structure and now have the tools to approach new partners with a credible business case.
We delivered:
A clear valuation model for existing and future partnerships
A proposal framework and toolkit to support partner acquisition and retention
Strategic recommendations for diversifying their partnership base
