Art Deco Weekend Introduces Art Party '16

Party Like an Artist. The Art Deco Weekend is approaching its 39th year and celebrates the opening of this event with Art Party '16, a signature showcase of exhibits and featured performers. Decorated as one large gallery set in the 1930's, this party encompasses a snapshot of what's to come. With a large following ready to party and mingle, this huge event will allow multi-faceted experiences take place at once. Different components will cater to every type of festival attendee, centered on the quirky and fun lifestyle vibe of the Art Deco Weekend. Media sponsors and other hosts will set up booths and party rooms for a centralized, yet unique experience. It’s a party within a party, guaranteed to keep you busy the entire weekend!

This event is a stylish flair for the extraordinary. With different "dress-up" days for different party events, patrons will have fun while taking a walk on the artsy side of Miami. Set in Wynwood, the heart of the art district, there's culture and variety for all. Past events include a classic car show, Deco dance-a-thon, fashion show and venue for live music and is open to visitors and local residents. Past exhibiting artists include David Gary Lloyd, JanRafael, Mark Diamond, J.A.S. Photography, Teepop art, Nancy Campos Art, Deming King Harriman, Achilles Secret, GAB Studio Art Group, Ian Fichman, Eugenio Jaramillo, Eleazar Delgado Studio, Guillermo Mazzotti, arteColomè by Jacqueline Colomè, Larry Alan Shane, Josephine Reyes, Star Trauth, Smadar Sasson, Nadine Creates, Gilles Hurtaud, Glenda Ramos, and Robert Korhonen, with jazz and big band musicians providing music and entertainment.

Art Deco weekend starts January 15, 2015. Activities for this event are endless, with private art classes, showcase works, and a look back into the past with a retro-styled party, definitely worth the money. Tickets for the event start at $30, with private party events starting at $50.

The Miami Design Preservation League (MDPL) was formed through the efforts of Barbara Baer Capitman and her son John Capitman. The initial impetus was to find a project to honor the United States’ bicentennial; the Capitmans worked with designers Leonard Horowitz and Lillian Barber to identify a concentration of 1930s buildings in South Miami Beach that the group felt could be a historic district of 20th century architecture. The host sponsor for the Art Deco Weekend, they join others in celebrating the success of life in the 20's and 30's.

Red Bull at Lollapalooza

getty-full-getty-14078-453691415 (1).jpg

Lollapalooza isn’t going anywhere, and its ties to Perry Farrell, Jane’s Addiction’s farewell tour and high-spirited music has kept it rolling for over 20 years. Lollapalooza is one of the world’s finest events for parallel brands, food providers, record companies and long-term industry followers. This year’s Chicago-bound location will enrich Grand Park between July 29 and August 2, featuring iconic music inspirations like Metallica, Florence + The Machine and Paul McCartney.  

Connectivity and the Remote World

With highlights like Young Thug, Tove Lo, Tyler, Flying Lotus, Sam Smith and The War on Drugs, Lollapalooza’s intense visibility is viable for several marketing avenues. Modern connectivity, social media and instant-access multimedia—and Red Bull has, yet again, taken advantage of a multifunctional marketing doorway.

Lollapalooza’s multi-event days span across glory-filled restaurants, street events, jam sessions, product purchases and backstage interviews. Massive gatherings benefit musical shenanigans, and world-class artists are high-profile network leaders in the entertainment marketing world. Red Bull TV will broadcast the events as they occur, taking advantage of their internet media resources to expand brand awareness and associations.

Live Sets and Industry Quality

Red Bull’s brand connects with Lollapalooza at an empirical level. Lollapalooza is associated with enrichment, education and artistic value. More than a high-energy thoroughfare, Chicago’s hosting streets provide venues for some of the world’s best organizations. Over 100 thousand festival fans are brought brand awareness, and Red Bull’s experimental marketing tactics in 2014 are back.

Encompassing high-profile, altruistic partners like Working Bikes, the Love Hope Strength Foundation, Syd Rocks, Oxfam America and HeadCount, Red Bull TV effectively associates itself with multiple industries and caring foundations. Early-stage research projects, inspirational sustainability options, environmental conservation and economic awareness all promote Lollapalooza’s values.

Festival Highlights and Red-Bull’s “Wings”

Red-Bull Live’s unique angle further connects its brand with full access, exclusive shots and behind-the-scenes actions. As viewers tune in, the heart of Lollapalooza is discovered, and online access—essentially—generates a “better-than-live” window. In many ways, Red Bull’s innovative approach is possible due to its market segment. High energy, active lifestyle, music and classic fun are its associations, and Lollapalooza’s atmosphere is perfect for future marketing efforts.

While not entirely reliant on multi-brand networking, Red Bull’s reporter-like marketing approach further engrains it into online culture. Brands associated with active lifestyle have notoriously suffered such entry barriers, creating inaccessible, segmented markets. However, Red Bull’s midway access is generated through its nod to younger culture. The brand has already become somewhat synonymous with Lollapalooza—and it’s widely regarded as one of the event’s primary viewing spectacles.

Late July and Early August are great impact dates for Red Bull, and live performances enhance its brand access. While outreach, online access and market emergence are Red Bull’s primary goals, live brand association and boosted sales further their industry dominance. Viewers are reminded to “not miss a beat” on Red-Bull’s website, further declaring its attachment to Lollapalooza on an intimate level. Festival highlights, point-of-view shorts and unprecedented coverage have already been established by Red Bull’s 2014 Lollapalooza access—and they’ll only continue to benefit the brand’s powerful market presence.

The Guccivuitton Exhibit at ICA Miami

Available now, and running through September 25, Guccivuitton’s all-new, self-claimed museum exhibit features Contemporary Art with a consumerist angle. Modern art, exquisite parties and rooftop lounge gatherings are here—and the Guccivuiton exhibit is open for viewing at ICA Miami.  

An Artistic Venue and Modern Corner

Guccivuitton proposes humble artistic spaces featuring essence-capturing designs within a simplistic, yet, conservative, Little Haiti location. Brainstorming sessions aside, Guccivutton’s allure comes from Miami’s centric consumerism. A high focus on luxury, art deco and pristine modeling exemplify Guccivuitton, and its collective, for-profit gallery proposes new insight into modern marketing.

Nothing is for sale—yet the environment provides a venue for promotional exhibitions and art galleries. Guccivuitton’s founders highlight South Florida’s art aesthetics by exemplifying its budding artists. Time-challenging culture perceptions are featured, too, focusing on the region’s showcased, cutting-edge talent.

Galleries premier a wide variety of artists, including well-known names like Purvis Young—an African-American artists focusing on harsh cultural experiences. Work lent from Rubells is also featured, catching onlookers’ eyes throughout showcased events.

Art and Commerce: A New Approach?

Guccivuitton has been open for two years, and its museum-art meshwork definitely proposes innovative marketing ideas. Subjected to the Institute of Contemporary Art Miami within the area’s Design District, Guccivuitton accesses the area’s organic, artistic culture when applying consumerism.  It’s unprecedented, and art-showcased museums are relatively rare. Yet, ICA Curator and Miami Deputy Director Alex Gartenfeld consider the gallery a highly effective event atmosphere.

Approaching exhibits from artistic interests charges onlookers with critical, cultural questions. Commerce and art share a relationship—and Miami’s atmosphere, too, impacts cultural consumerism. Guccivuitton, itself, is very large. It harnesses over 100 works by approximately 30 artists. While most are local, several Guccivuiton-hosted displays reflect external consumerism’s impact on well-known brands.

Scope and Identity: Modern Marketing Appeal

Guccivuiton proposes great scope. Imagination-stretching exhibits define its setting, and the entire event’s ICA atrium surrounding provides a lofty environment for curated exhibits. Not a mundane trade show in the least, Guccivuiton implores visitors to consider new, intersecting approaches to consumerism.

The area is spaced well, so Miami designers have considerable room for displays and demonstrations. Designed by Jonathan Gonzalez’s design office firm, Guccivuiton’s show installation is drafted from conceived art storage infrastructures. Mesh screens are placed to hold work, and art is stored in a fashion inspired by the Rubell Family Collection nearby.

Florida’s consumerist culture weighs heavily upon multimedia and art “materiality”. Functional art objects, new consumerist approaches and innovative practices reflect Miami’s approach to practical marketing—and Guccivuitton’s featured pieces continue to offer fine-paced, progressive pieces. Little Haiti, itself, has been called “the next Wynwood” recently, and new artists are emerging to escape nearby warehouse districts.

Due to Guccivuiton’s day-job funded atmosphere, entry bars are relatively low—creating a friendly atmosphere for new ideologies, insights and industry trends. One of the area’s most unique consumerism expression displays, Guccivuitton has spawned a small cultural movement based in creative marketing. While creative marketing, itself, has always been a self-identified term, Guccivuitton creates a new platform for purist ideologies. Perhaps, similar venues will arise in the future.

 

MCCI Medical Group and the Miami Family Event’s Wellness & Lifestyle Expo

This Miami event is all about healthy living. The Miami Family Event Wellness & Lifestyle Expo offers an entertaining, health-centric weekend for the whole family. The health and wellness expo brings activities, events, information and great opportunities for visitors. Raffles, cooking classes, contests, surprising appearances and live performances are all included. The event takes place October 3 and October 4.  

Sponsored and Enacted by MCCI Medical Group

MCII Medical Group’s outreach has taken great lengths to empower the Miami Family Event. A Physician group with years of experience, MCII’s origins rest in applicable knowledge and effective treatment. Their constantly improving treatments and analysis have increased their patients’ attention, and their goals, products, services and industry dedication have made them a commonly referred group.

The Miami Family Event takes a similar avenue to community, focusing on direct application for health and wellbeing. MCCI Medical Group’s community outreach, public appearance and expansive resources match the Miami Family Event Well—crafting a bond between communal health and medical support.

 

Affiliates and Opportunity

MCCI Medical Group has over 200 affiliated specialists and 100 primary care physicians. Within the medical industry, powerful affiliate connections define accessibility and patient flexibility. The Miami Family Event’s social atmosphere, great activities and lifestyle resources are very important to MCCI Medical Group’s community marketing efforts.

The Featured Kids World offers arcade fun, kid-friendly cooking classes, dance competitions, arts, crafts, animal interactions and more. Community interaction isn’t necessarily innovative—but it prospers when an organization reaches out to connect with consumers in new, creative ways. Parents are involved, too, as the Lifestyle Pavilion welcomes newcomers with local vendors, food, relaxation and family getaway planning.

Expression, Wellness and Activity

The Miami Family Event conducts a healthy environment for consumer-business relations, as medical assistance relies heavily upon client comfort. The event’s travel section, in particular, holds great opportunity for MCCI Medical Group, as a high focus on opportunity, family connections and novel approach matches its company morals. For many medical groups, community connection is often “just business.” The Miami Family Event Wellness & Lifestyle Expo, while aimed towards wellness, still innovates common marketing approaches.

Informative presentations, music performances and health screenings are similarly available—bringing consumers closer to their providers. Attendees are welcomed to engage in informative discussions, activities and family workshops, too. Recreational support, family assistance and experienced physician help are all discussed at the expo—so prospective patients feel supported before services are ever “in the picture.” A marketing effort conducive to relaying commonly “unknown” information, MCCI Medical Group’s unique approach to public appearance is both honest and integrative.

MCCI Medical Group takes pride in its physician-operated, founded and owned business, and the Miami Family Event is perfect for its outreach. Still an experimental appearance in the works, the Miami Family Event will likely be a great platform for MCCI Medical Group. In a community valuing health, wellness and service transparency, such companies excel. A highly practical approach to one of the medical industry’s most difficult marketing hurdles, the sponsored event values communication above all for the future consumer.

 

The Ford Motor Company Fly-In Theater: Giving Wings to Marketing Efforts

Ford is a notoriously proud EAA AirVenture member, and it’s supported the World’s Greatest Aviation Celebration for years. Having crafted decade-long relationships, its Fly-In Theater never fails to impress associated members, onlookers and brand visitors. EAA members examine the Fly-In Theater’s events through several lenses—and each promotes top entertainment practices within aviation’s yearly family reunion.  

Events, Concerts and Communication

From July 19 to July 25 in Oshkosh, WI, the Fly-In Theater supplements Ford Motor Company’s finest experiences. The EAA AirVenture opening day concert fires off activities, followed by Ford and EAA’s enhanced and annual EAA AirVenture’s follow up shows. The Fly-In Theater’s Super Saturday packs the Ford Hanger with excitement, entertainment and high-energy events. Multiple opportunities are in store, and Ford Airventure is always ready to provide visitors with connection opportunities.

Versacom and Ford Motor Company’s Marketing

Of course, marketing is an end-game marker of the Fly-In Theater. Ford’s 2015 gathering is powered through Versacom: responsible for the company’s marketing communication efforts. A customer drive, consumer-first agency, Versacom has historically served companies with innovative communication services.

Impacting the industry for over 35 years, Versacom serves clients through intensive marketing efforts, communication resources and lead generation. The Ford Motor Company’s Fly-In Theater is very reliant on Versacom’s feature efforts, and exceeded expectations define their partnership. The industry’s bar is constantly raised, and intelligent, creative marketing concepts are needed to stay ahead. Industry conditions are demanding, and immediate delivery, high-quality services and incomparable value drive both Versacom and Ford Motor Group.

Supported Evolution and Ingenious Marketing Solutions

Ford Motor Company has crafted a highly intuitive marketing event, and the Fly-In Theater meets visitor expectations with nearly limitless industry potential. Adjacent to EAA’s Camp Scholler camping area, the Fly-In Theater matches  entertainment with attendee education. Thousands of patrons experience free, aviation-themed films and entertainment. The area’s five-story screen is highly accessible to large crowds, and previous, big-hit films like Wings and Pacific Rim have been featured.

High-tech activities are also present—making the Ford Hanger a central action hub. Cockpit demonstration systems, “flyby” lectures and informative performance discussions fill the area, and ultra-realistic road courses keep visitors entertained. For Ford, the event is filled with market-boosting potential. Demos, displays, historic crafts and legendary planes are also supported.

Oculus Rift headsets highlight Ford’s recent inclusions—and the virtual reality system provides up-close-and-personal flight simulations to accompany fighter flight tests. The industry’s nod to modern technology is vital to Ford’s industry expansion—as America’s top-hitting vehicle brand rests its good faith in up-to-date technology.

Their acute marketing angle proposes technological evolution, and it reveals soon-to-be bestsellers on a consumer level. Many big-sellers, like the Focus ST, the Ford Edge, the Lincoln SUV and the Lincoln Navigator have all appeared at the Ford Fly-In Theater.

Celebrity Support and Aviation Enthusiasts

The Fly-In Theater’s hanger section is annually established as an “Autograph HQ” for celebrity appearances. Performers, special guests and aviation enthusiasts make appearances, providing a healthy environment for everything Ford.

Collectibles, Mustang celebrations and the Ford Transit Connect’s ice cream distribution are but a few of the Ford Fly In Theater’s amenities. With surrounding campgrounds and luxury-style visitation accommodations, the Fly-In Theater is ready for action.

TigerDirect’s Tech Bash in Miami

TigerDirect’s fourth annual Tech Bash will be astounding. Stationed in the Miami Marlins Park, TigerDirects event marketing schedule reveals its latest, greatest technology. Tech enthusiasts, industry professionals and consumers are welcome—generating the brand’s public enrichment and outreach program.

Innovative Millennial Access

TigerDirect’s Tech Bash will take place on November 6 this year, and its holiday season outreach directly targets Millennials. Of course, IT experts, families and business executives are welcome, though Tech Bash has, in recent years, notoriously attracted Millennial guests with modern consumer technology passions.

Tech Bash offers gaming, live music, fun-filled events and widespread entertainment. While its primary focus is on consumer technology, activities are forefront inclusions. Over 120 big-name tech names will be present—generating a charged atmosphere promoting the world’s latest, greatest technology. Guests are welcome to experience innovative solutions from Google, witness Intel’s latest designs and browse other industry elites—like Samsung, LG, Lenovo and HP. TigerDirect’s famous approach to a “one roof covers all” marketing strategy continues to please—generating new opportunities for younger generations.

Live Entertainment—Live Marketing

TigerDirect’s dedication to widespread technology access is its primary resource. The brand’s innovative marketing approach increases its industry insight, empowers brand newcomers and gauges the modern consumer’s market evolution.

Highly creative, Tech Bash has never failed to be a big hit on a basic platform. Build-a-PC races, big-name artists, food trucks, digital caricatures, drones and the industry’s newest VR Tech have appeared in the past, and consumer visitors are always prompted to consider technology’s future.

End-users, of course, are TigerDirect’s star audience segment. Pre-holiday showcases define its marketing effort end-game, and top premier brands only accelerate TigerDirect’s consumer outreach. Live marketing is very viable for such a notable brand.

Local tech Start-Ups and Industry Newcomers

TigerDirect’s industry positioning grants it exceptional power through newcomers. Because of this, their tech start-up company support is a notable marketing effort. Local tech startup representatives are highly regarded at Tech Bash, and TigerDirect is very nurturing of such entities. Entrants must be over age 13—and for good reason: Marketing efforts prevail when marketing segments are pinpointed and accessed.

Tech Bash is about TigerDirect’s consumers and soon-to-be tech supporters. It’s about the electronics enabling future sustainability, scale and growth.

The Connected Home and Memorable Evenings

TigerDirect understands modern electronics. It understands a high focus on connectivity and accessibility. Its 2015 event won’t only focus on emerging technology. It’ll focus on time-tested-and-true industry cornerstones. Interactive entertainment, gaming rigs and home theater networking are all TigerDirect powerhouse avenues—and Tech Bash will promote each.

Tech Bash provides the perfect opportunity for connectivity-based product marketing. It’s an event, and it’s contingent upon consumer visitation. The climate is perfect for promoting intuitive home systems, and its marketing boon rests within the platform’s social capabilities. In essence, TigerDirect’s Tech Bash reflects the industry’s highest potential in an accessible atmosphere.

Technology’s future should be relatable, flexible and fast-paced. TigerDirect spares nothing when multiple supporting brands are featured, and it gains everything when consumers, future creators and well-known suppliers are empowered together.
