2016/2017
Overall
Thank you for the opportunity to work with the City of Round Rock; we are honored to provide
our services to the Sports Capital of Texas again this year. Our work for the last year has featured several
creative projects, including ongoing marketing of the Round Rock Sports Center as well as the continued
branding of the Sports Capital of Texas. We've created a new print and online ad campaigns to increase
awareness of the Sports Capital and its many offerings, two sales pieces to showcase the Round Rock
Sports Center and Old Settlers Park, and branding and naming of the new Round Rock Multipurpose
Complex. Our team also executed several social media sweepstakes and is currently working on engaging
social media videos to increase interest and viewership for the Sports Capital social pages.
In anticipation of the upcoming year, we will continue to tell the overall story of the Sports
Capital of Texas, while helping to introduce the new multi-purpose field complex in a strategic and high-
profile way. Furthermore, our goal will be to continue to build a recession -resistant sports event travel
destination.
As your full-service advertising agency, our professional services starting October 1, 2016 through
September 30, 2017 will focus on five key areas of communications support:
1. Grand Opening Marketing for the Multi -Purpose Fields
2. Print and Digital Marketing to Continue Strengthening the Overall Sports Capital of Texas Brand
3. Social Media and Website Optimization
4. Major Update to the Round Rock Visitors Guide
5. Public Relations to Promote New Tournaments and Events
1. Grand Opening Marketing for the Round Rock Multi -Purpose Fields
With the arrival of the new Round Rock Multi -Purpose Fields, Round Rock has the opportunity
to entice a new target market into bringing their tournament or event to Round Rock. Our plan includes
collaboration with the CVB, specific to the new facility determining the best approach to secure bookings
throughout the year. We will develop and launch a new advertising campaign that promotes the 75 -acre
complex and all of the new sporting events that it has to offer, including ultimate frisbee, soccer, rugby,
lacrosse and flag football. We will also produce a grand opening party. One of our priorities will be to
develop an archive of still and action photography that can be used across all channels for marketing the
multi-purpose fields, including print and online effort. We will develop the facility's spec sheet and
marketing brochure to be used in sales kits for bookings.
2. Print and Online MarketinLy for the Snorts Canital of Texas
As Round Rock continues to build upon it's award-winning facilities, we will differentiate the
City's offerings with this audience by promoting the new multi-purpose fields and by creating ads that are
unlike anything they see from other CVBs. Because of the new multi-purpose fields, our advertising will
reach old as well as new audiences interested in sports. Our creative executions will highlight the energy
EXHIBIT "A"
okme4wf
and excitement of Round Rock while featuring the City's continued commitment to being the best
tournament destination anywhere: one that has a strong heart for sports and the facilities, amenities and
resources our audiences want and need. Our media buy will target tournament event planners and rights
holders of both indoor and outdoor sporting events. As we have in the past, we will continue to negotiate
for the very best ad placements with all of our trade media.
3. Social Media and Website Optimization
As our target markets continue to become younger and the need for immediate information online
increases, social media and other digital media will remain a priority of the marketing mix. With fresh
content (including photography, videos, narrative and more), we will evolve both the
SportsCapitalofI'exas.com and RRSportsCenter.com websites so they stay current and interesting. To
give Round Rock every advantage possible in promoting their venues, we will continue to consult social
media best practices to keep the Sports Capital of Texas brand in the forefront of the fans' minds and
continue to build and grow our audiences.
A comprehensive quarterly audit will define and drive the business objectives for the Round Rock
CVB. These reviews will also allow us to align the brand position and value in the marketplace.
The core ideology of our campaign will take a mobile -first approach to content and design. Today
consumers spend over 60% of their digital time on mobile devices; mobile devices give them the ability
to access content anytime and anywhere. This shift in access has also evolved how people consume
information. Digital video is quickly gaining traction as the format of choice -- Facebook, Instagram, and
Twitter have all introduced new digital -video ad products. Also, recent algorithm changes on these
platforms prove they prefer video because the video gets higher engagement rates. A recent campaign we
ran yielded over 238,868 views over a 4 -month period. Digital Videos will allow us to convey more
information in a shorter span and enable users to digest much more information. Social videos will give
Round Rock every advantage possible when promoting their venues. Social promotions and contests also
provide for innovative consumer engagement opportunities. Our success in the past involves engaging
7,849 unique users with three social promotions/ contests.
4. Maior Update to the Round Rock Visitors Guide
The Visitors Guide is one of the most highly used marketing tools for tourism and is one of the
most popular in the state. It's been almost three years since the last refresh for the Round Rock Visitors
Guide, and it's time for a major update to its look and feel, so we can give visitors a fresh look at what
Round Rock has to offer. The update will include both a print and online version.
5. Public Relations to Promote New Tournaments and Events
As the competition becomes fierce for tournaments, Public Relations efforts become a crucial
component in helping marketing these events. The rights holders have come to expect a PR plan with the
award of their tournament. Our PR team will continue to provide top-notch service and strategy to these
events on behalf of the Round Rock Convention and Visitors Bureau.
