Target Spring Brrrrreak
One of Target’s brand promises is to
constantly find new, exciting ways to
surprise and delight the public. So, after
two years of executing successful Spring
Break events for the retail giant, they told
us they were throwing in the towel, unless
we could come up with an idea so delight-
fully original they couldn’t say “no.” So we
came up with a very cool idea – the FIRST
ICE RINK on the BEACH ever.
It was a Target winter wonderland on the
beach. Students came in droves to skate,
play games, sample Target’s Archer Farms
snacks and freshen-up with grooming
essentials from Unilever and Axe.
Results
Target was the coolest destination on the
beach that summer, touching over 50,000
college students with their “Expect More”
brand message and partner sampling. The
event also triggered an avalanche of press
and promotional radio exposure.

Our Community Tour
HMG produced and executed the Shades
of Our Community Tour to drive tune-in

cused shows on four Turner Networks (TBS,

high-traffic African American festivals and
fairs in ten AA markets across the U.S.
Built upon the concept of community
togetherness, the event delivered an
array of activities, including a custom
button making booth, family portrait
studio, dance-offs, health screenings,
games and giveaways.
Results
The Shades of Our Community Tour
touched over 1,000,000 people and
generated heavy coverage by local
newspapers, community websites,
and radio stations. The tour supported
numerous AA programs, CNN’s Black In
America.
The season premiere of TNT’s HawthoRNe
(after seven tour stops) ranked as ad-
supported cables #1 program for the day
among viewers and households. Meet the
Browns was the #1 program among targeted
demographics.

Team Coco
Button Booth Tour
HMG generated buzz and drove tune-in for
TBS’s late night talk show, CONAN, with the
Team Coco Button Booth Tour –
a memorable, interactive experience that
was as quirky and loveable as Conan
O’Brien himself. Targeted at affluent, tech-
savvy CONAN fans, the tour stopped at
high-traffic retail locations, sporting events,
street festivals and concerts in 18 markets.
Fans lined up for the chance to create
personalized “I’M WITH CONAN” buttons
featuring their face and Conan’s famous
orange hairdo. Digital versions of the
personalized buttons were available for
download from the “Team Coco” micro
site which exponentially spread the word
through social media platforms like
Facebook & Twitter.

a huge success, delivering hundreds of
thousands of targeted consumer and
geo-targeted Facebook impressions.
