BRECKENRIDGE FILM FESTIVAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN:
This portfolio represents a specific public relations and promotional campaign, created for the Breckenridge Film Festival. It includes local and regional press editorial and advertisements, radio interviews and advertisements, broadcast media mentions, social media on four platforms and other digital communications mechanisms designed to present a cohesive and expansive outreach effort.
This campaign was extremely successful for the Breckenridge Film Festival, helping to drive a nearly 35% increase in ticket sales year-over-year between 2013 and 2014. It was based on a $10,000 marketing budget. The 2014 emphasis on social media outreach leading up to the festival produced much-needed filmmaker-festival interaction, increased shares, likes and retweets that broadened the outreach base.
LOCAL NEWSPAPER EDITORIAL:
The Summit Daily News reporting staff was presented a set of press releases, upon which they built their press coverage. Almost every story with a press release was published. Through excellent relationships and quality pitches, we arranged weekly film reviews to appear in the newspaper leading up to the festival.
