and implement innovative and effective ways to assist
clients in reaching their target audiences, by utilizing
traditional & non-traditional marketing tactics.


Overview
Events West will implement a marketing campaign that will
bring about knowledge and awareness of the sport and the
exciting and entertaining aspects of it that appeal to the
casual fan.

With its edgy approach to marketing and programming,
Warriors Cup is poised to take its place as one America’s
most significant new Pay Per View events. Utilizing
innovative grassroots strategies and tactics, Events West
will create a relevant, impactful pre-launch grassroots
marketing campaign that “organically” extends the Warriors
Cup brand into the lives of its viewers and attendees.


Objectives

• To develop creative, high-impact executions that
maximize viewership and attendance and attention for
Warriors Cup’s first televised event.

• To deliver cost effective peer-to-peer communication,
that builds preference, excites viewers and keeps the
Warriors Cup brand moving forward in innovative ways.

•To develop an organic display of demand for Warriors Cup
& its mission, that will influence cable partners world-wide
to broadcast Warriors Cup.

By working in partnership with our sponsors, Events West will
accomplish the following objectives:

Strengthen brand preference for Warriors Cup and its
Sponsors
Build & maximize the Warriors Cup “fan” base
Implement targeted and integrated grassroots initiatives
Utilize Meaningful Entertainment and Engagement as a
primary means of message delivery
Collect data from the target audience to assist in Warriors
Cup growth


Tactics
Events West will provide managerial oversight &
production to the Warriors Cup movement to create a cool
& relevant campaign that speaks directly to the passions of
the target demo. This development and implementation
will happen in two (2) main areas:

1) Guerrilla Media Strategy Design & Implementation
