Monster Sponsors the AMA Supercross

On April 9, 2016, Monster Energy will sponsor the AMA Supercross at the Lucas Oil Stadium, presenting promotions, music, food and other live events.

About the AMA Supercross

The AMA Supercross takes excitement from the street, to the track and across the trail. The event hosts millions of Americans, proposing new brand strategies, awesome inclusions and a new twist to motorcycling with pleasing weekends. The AMA Supercross, for years, has identified with young sports fans, targeting Generation Y and UFC, WWE and action sports lovers.

Off-road rides, far-off journeys and thrill-seeking event’s run the stadium, targeted by the event’s extensive social media coverage. The AMA has protected motorcycling’s future since 1924, promoting lifestyle events within many walks of life. The cable station Speed has notoriously covered the event, linking it across multiple social media platforms. Currently, the AMA proposes new, revolutionary benefits to motorcyclist interests, targeting local, state, regional and federal government entities. International government organizations, too, are touched upon, making public opinion the AMA’s chief regard.

Recreational Events and Monster’s Promotional Opportunities

Monster Energy Drink has involved itself in high-powered lifestyle, engaging brands by providing extreme sport events, gear and lifestyle options. The brand’s marketing strategy launched in 2002, climbing the ranks to match Red Bull and Rock Star’s fame. Their advertising budget, promotional ventures and brand association plays upon active lifestyle, taking part in the X-Games, the Dew Action Sports Tour and the Monster Energy Pipeline Pro.

Monster-sponsored AMA members obtain discounts on well-known motorcycle service providers. Apparel, services, gear, transport, bike rental and hotel stays are offered, hitting upon the event’s core values at the brand level. Monster’s appearances can be viewed in the AMA Supercross Media Guide, and contestants race to achieve the Monster Energy Cup Championship. Monster-themed banners, event stands and vehicle sponsorship stickers deck out the event in black and green energy.

Social Club Events and Visibility

Monster’s involvement impacts the AMA on multiple platforms. Performers, enthusiasts and event goers all have great on-road and off-road opportunities, and the AMA’s natural structure facilitates a slew of formal events.

The AMA Historic Club offers membership for applying members, providing consistent support amenities for industry lovers. Monster’s brand lovers are consistently adherent, returning to the company’s sponsored events and increasing overall support. The event’s service charter reaches out to military, police, charity, fire and motorcyclist organizations alike, expanding simple motocross ideologies to impact the community at large.

The AMA Recreational and Competition Promoting Club, too, makes an impact. Created and sponsoring clubs can sanction AMA events, vote for its Congress Delegates and attend the AMA Risk management Workshop. Monster’s deep sponsorship, itself, enables such processes, doubling back on consumers and involving them in the AMA’s overall design.

The AMA will likely continue for years. The sole U.S.-based Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme affiliate, the AMA’s sanctioning body is international. Monster’s AMA affiliates will continue competing in team-based world events, taking part in the International Six Days Enduro and the Motocross of Nations. Country-representative racing has always been a preferred style, and Monster’s sheer discipline represents the AMA’s dedication to widespread enthusiasm well.

The AMA Supercross features Monster-sponsored booths, refreshment stands and products. While Monster’s other inspired and sponsored events remain consistent throughout the years, few of its event marketing outlets contain the AMA Supercross’s in-depth design. Constantly growing and evolving, the AMA Supercross is an excellent venue for any potent sponsor.

 

Film Gems in Miami

The Miami International Film Festival is known for introducing new talent and exposing the gems of the film industry. Next year’s festival introduces “Film Gems,” a private screening of one of the movies being featured at the festival with a meet and greet party afterwards. The event is slated to occur the day before the festival opens, with the festival running March 4-13, 2016. This event will be marketed to the heads of production companies, media, film makers and VIPs as a pre-film festival event. Special invites will be sent out a month in advance shaped like a film reel highlighting all the films being shown, as well as who will make special appearances at this event. Marketed as the premier event to attend prior to the festival, this event is a hot ticket item, consistently growing in demand each year, and slated as a black-tie affair.

The venue will be set up like a mini-festival, which will have different sections highlighting all the genres of films being shown. International and national artists, filmmakers and celebrities will make appearances, as well as musical talent to create a party atmosphere full of fun. Vendors will also be on hand to sell items relative to the films being presented through the production companies.

Special food vendors and trucks will be on hand to introduce different cuisine and delights to all the attendees. The food trucks will be set up in a special pavilion right outside to create a food court that will include seating and music.

This venue will introduce the nominees for the CinemaSlam, Knight Competition, Knight Documentary Achievement Award, Lexus Ibeo-American Feature Film Competition, Shorts Competition, Lexus Audience Awards, and the Jordan Alexander Ressler Charitable Fund Award. All nominees will have an opportunity to be photographed and interviewed after the presentation.

The Festival has hosted and introduced a diverse group of filmmakers including renowned filmmakers Pedro Almodóvar, Andrea Arnold, Hector Babenco, Luc Besson, Susanne Bier, Bertrand Blier, Juan Carlos Campanella, Joel & Ethan Coen, and Alfonso Cuarón. Stars that have attended include Candice Bergen, Helen Hunt, Kate Hudson, Anne Hathaway, Lori Singer, Aston Kutcher and Gregory Peck.

Tickets for this event will go on sale February 1. Tickets for the Film Society Members and Sponsors will go on sale Friday, February 5, and General Public tickets will go on sale Friday, February 12.

Past sponsors include the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Lexus, Miami-Dade County Cultural Affairs, Comcast Communications, American Airlines, Telemundo 51, HBO, HBO Latin America, Miami Downtown Development Authority, 107.5, South Florida 6, and many others.

Miami Dade College’s Miami International Film Festival is a charity that connects audiences, and fosters a value for cinema or future generations. The mission is to bridge cultural understanding and encourage artistic development by provoking thought through film. By bringing the best of world cinema to Miami, the Festival presents the city and the film industry with a singular platform that fosters creative and technical talent.

Starbucks and the Hot Java Cool Jazz Event

Seattle jazz fans have been enriched with Starbucks’s Hot Java Cool Jazz show in the past, experiencing the region’s top Edmonds-Woodway musicians. Mount Si, Garfield, Roosevelt High and Mountlake Terrace High Schools will, once again, meet to inhabit a dynamic evening of fun and music on March 25, 2016. The Paramount Theatre will play host to the event, invigorating the true Seattle jazz tradition with great allure and size.

Funding and Participation

The Hot Java Cool Jazz event has, in the past, received over $55,000 from evening ticket sales. Such success has been funneled into participating school music programs since 1995. Each year, the Hot Java Cool Jazz music show raises above $450,000 in total to empower local educational music programs.

Big-name music bands, like Count Basie, Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman, inspire the event’s young minds. Student-level participation defines the Hot Java Cool Jazz event, making it, solely, an educational-level promotional experience. Participation is always promoted in the event’s lead-in weeks, when Starbucks promotes the Hot Java Cool Jazz event in the local area’s Starbuck's University Village store. Many Roosevelt and Garfield High School parents attend this location for coffee—granting them direct access to event information.

The Event

The Hot Java Cool Jazz sensation has skyrocketed its participants into success. Event players have, in the past, received highest honors at the New York Ellington Festival. Today’s Hot Java Cool Jazz is still inspired by the company’s previous attention to detail, success and enthusiasm. The show has evolved into a multifaceted night of excitement, sometimes selling out the Paramount with 3,000 guests.

The show, itself, carries an astounding vibe. The Hot Java Cool Jazz plays approximately four songs, with several intervals between. The pacing doesn’t inhibit, and the crowd has been historically pleased to wait between sets. Band directors and students alike wear formal attire, playing solos and top-game floor sets. For kids, jazz’s essence takes form on a year-to-year basis, where new songs, new sets and new approaches liven up the event’s attribution to annual, international festivals.

Starbucks and Youthful Event Marketing

Starbucks has, in the past, shown excellent dedication to its surrounding youth culture. Focusing on its age 15 to 21 market, Starbucks hasn’t spared much in terms of relevancy.

Considered an upper-scale coffee establishment, Starbucks utilizes the Hot Java Cool Jazz event to inspire its primary consumer base with artistic merit, class and a nod to evolving musical culture. Starbucks currently owns more than 18,000 retail locations across 60 countries. Starbucks’s growth continues to soar, becoming increasingly popular across college, and high school, campuses. Hot Java Cool Jazz brings something new, pulling parents into pre-event meetups.

Having inserted itself into America’s urban landscape, Starbucks’s trendy company culture is similarly important. Its young staff, sponsoring and impacting the Hot Java Cool Jazz event, are entirely supportive of the brand’s growing image. The company’s market success, in large part, is due to its excellent allocation of resources during experimental marketing events. In the world of events, staffing with primary age denominations is a good idea.

Reel It IN!

What better way to kick off the Miami International Film Festival than with an event designed to add fun and intrigue to the venue before it even begins? Miami Dade College presents Reel It IN! - the kickoff party hosted on March 3, 2016 for those who want to party with a head-up on what the festival has to offer. The festival runs from March 3-14, 2016 and is sure to add a few surprises. Designed like a movie studio, the festival will have hosts and hostesses dressed like individuals from different movies as attendees go through each “scene” designed by sponsors and other vendors. Free acting classes, a forum, and clips from movies will be shown on the big screen. There will be a meet and greet session for celebrities and filmmakers, and a 2 minute pitching contest for those who think they can conjure up the thoughts for a movie in a quick instant.

A food station filled with foods from all over the world will be set up in the food court, with selections named after famous movies. Local performers will get the party started with a rendition of Dance Fever that will get the audience involved.

Designed to be a venue for the film industry and individuals who are interested in becoming a part of this world, there will be an entire section devoted to introducing workshops and events of interest to this crowd to assist in putting those important elements on their schedule for the week. This event draws hundreds of people every year with major celebrities. A VIP area will be available for those actors and actresses who will be making an appearance throughout the duration of the festival.

In the center of the room will be a life-sized version of the GEMS award, which is the mid-season festival. Designed to remind the crowd of the additional festival later in the year, applications for GEMS will be available at this event.

Tickets for this even go on sale in January, 2016 through Miami Dade College and Ticketmaster.

Previous sponsors for this event include the John S. & James L. Knight Foundation; Lexus; Miami-Dade County; Comcast, American Airlines; Telemundo 51; Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority; Miami DDA; HBO and HBO Latin America, and a host of other sponsors.

The Miami International Film Festival was designed to bridge cultural understanding and encourage artistic development and excellence by provoking thought through film. By bringing the best of world cinema to Miami, the Festival presents the city and the film industry with a singular platform that fosters creative and technical talent.

All That Jazz … and Then Some

 

One of the best things about Miami is its cultural events, bringing in thousands of people at a time. March 18-20, 2016 is a showcase of celebrities from all over the nation coming together for performances in one big forum – the Jazz in the Gardens. Capitalizing on all the tourists coming into town for this event, the committee presents, All That Jazz … And Then Some. A pre-festivity event, this party will have a soundstage featuring local performers and interviews with some of the scheduled weekend performers. Sponsors and vendors will be able to feature booths with food, giveaways and contests.

Designed to be a snapshot of what’s to come, past performance from events will be displayed on a huge jumbotron in the middle of the room. Past performers include Toni Braxton, Kenny G, Gladys Knight, Teena Marie, Jeffrey Osborne, Ronald Isley, R. Kelly, New Edition and more. In existence for over 10 years in the City of Miami Gardens, there are a number of culminating events taking place throughout the week.

This event is open to those parties who hold two-day passes, and employees from sponsor organizations to keep it an exclusive affair. Past sponsor organizations include United Teachers of Dade, Bacardi, Hot105FM, Antioch of Miami Gardens, SunLife Stadium, Miami Dolphins, Greater Ft. Lauderdale, Volkswagen, The DL Hugley Show, Miami New Times, The Miami Herald, Rolling Out Magazine, Miami-Dade County, Smooth Jazz.com, South Florida Caribbean News and Legacy Magazine.

Tickets for this pre-event party go on sale in January at Ticketmaster. A verification code is needed to make sure they apply to two- or three-day ticket holders and sponsor organizations. Tickets can also be purchased from Dolphin Stadium. The line-up for 2016 will be announced in December 2015 and January 2016.

Jazz in the Gardens started ten years ago with a few performers in hopes of having an annual festival where individuals could come and enjoy performers and food in an outside venue for a fun and musically enhanced experience.

The City of Miami Gardens was incorporated on May 13, 2003, as the 33rd city in Miami-Dade County. At a population of 105,457, it is the third largest city in Miami-Dade County (after Miami and Hialeah). The City is located in North-Central region of the county, mid-way between Fort Lauderdale and Miami, and is easily accessed by I-95, the Palmetto Expressway (SR 826) and the Florida Turnpike. The city comprises approximately 20 square miles.

Miami Gardens is home to Dolphin Stadium (used by the Miami Dolphins and the Florida Marlins) and Calder Race Track. It has vibrant commercial corridors along the Palmetto Expressway (serving as the central shopping district for the furniture trade) and along U.S. 441 (serving the automobile trade). The city has rail access through the Florida East Coast Railway and the South Florida Tri-Rail System.

Southwest Airlines Sponsors and Supports Dinosaurs Live

Southwest Airlines is directly sponsoring Dinosaurs Live until February 21, engaging travel lovers with one of the world’s most beloved time periods. Dinosaurs Live is a life-sized animatronic spectacle, featuring bio-specific animal creations. With a 46-foot T-Rex, a slew of other creatures and the Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary’s wonderful trails, Dinosaurs Live promises to be an event all can enjoy.

The Exhibit and Attendance

Dinosaurs Live is the Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary’s 9th annual version. Its intertwined Heard Exhibit promotes the museum’s year-round actions while the main event is displayed. Dinosaurs Live offers fun for families and friends alike, featuring educational activities, holiday events, indoor amenities and demonstrations. Event runners utilize years of museum experience to ensure quality, making Dinosaurs Live a legitimate and quality walkthrough experience.

The Heard Natural Science Museum dedicates its efforts to promoting its visibility. Often, museums experience a lack of funding from unknowing crowds or simple city dynamics. Dinosaurs Live promises to provide ‘spillover’ from the event into the museum’s mainstays and attractions. Moving, roaring dinosaurs are positioned near the museum’s play area and photo op. Viewing trails are stroller and jogger friendly, granting access to all walks of life.

The Heard Wildlife Sanctuary and Southwest Airlines

Dedicated to its energy goals, Southwest Airlines takes pride in promoting anything green. The Heard Wildlife Sanctuary, located in the previously restored Blackland Prairie, exists in less than one percent of its former area. Many of Southwest Airlines marketing efforts attempt to support diminishing North American ecosystems, taking part in community events and restoration projects.

The Heard Wildlife Sanctuary is currently one of North America’s most endangered ecosystems, too, and the area’s impactors constantly support the habitat by applying rich soil and other materials. Dinosaurs Live nods to this by explaining the Cretaceous Period’s natural mineral deposits and soil material. The Blackland Prairie is the Heard Wildlife Sanctuary’s chief concern, and Southwest Airlines intends to directly fuel the establishment capable of enhancing its health.

The Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary is a nonprofit organization, yet its direct sponsorship provides great opportunity. Event-goers can donate, assisting local wildlife and environmental programs. Similarly, the Southwest Airlines approach to clean, clear flying constantly builds up the Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary’s efforts. The world of marketing sponsorship is wide and varied, but Southwest Airlines fits the bill in terms of on-the-mark support.

What began in 1963 as an intimate “clothes line” art show featuring a handful of artists and a few thousand onlookers as part of a promotion for the Coconut Grove Playhouse’s production of Irma la Douce has transformed itself into South Florida’s most successful arts festival. Today, the event attracts an estimated 120,000 people to the winding streets of Coconut Grove during President’s Day weekend. Proceeds help fund year-round arts programs, which create a positive impact on our community and touch the lives of many throughout the year. Recent initiatives include the “New & Emerging Artists” category, which allows artists ages 18-29 to not only display their work for the very first time at an outdoor fine arts festival, but also partake in a hands-on Arts Symposium and gain access to a carefully-matched Experienced Festival Artist in their genre.
