SUMMERFEST 2018 EVENT SPONSORSHIP PROJECT EVENT PLANNING, EVENT EXECUTION, SOCIAL MEDIA & PUBLIC RELATIONS BRIDGE TAIWAN EXCELLENCE WITH MILWAUKEE EXCELLENCE What s the best way to communicate excellence? Show it. IDM recommended, planned and executed the Taiwan Excellence sponsorship of Summerfest 2018 to give American consumers the chance to experience the innovative design and engineering advancements of Taiwanese companies. IDM was responsible for every aspect of the event planning and activation while providing an engaging social media campaign and PR efforts integrated with the Community Outreach program. 1
Messaging and Positioning IDM designed the Key Visual - all game materials, social media images, informational handouts and the exhibit itself were informed by this design. Maximizing Visibility To create maximum visibility, Taiwan Excellence sponsored the Summerfest Sky Glider, a gondola lift which takes patrons from one end of the festival grounds to the other. IDM designed the advertisement signage for the Sky Glider cars, employing the key visual imagery and secured media interviews on the glider with a local publication. 2
To educate and engage our audience about award winning products, we trained brand ambassadors who were excited to share stories about the products showcasing the products unique features and benefits. Watch an on-site review here. To enrich the Opening Ceremony with entertaining content, Peter Roothaan - a recognized saxophonist and performer in Chicago, demonstrated Lien Cheng s award-winning Alto Saxophone and was able to explain its qualities to interested visitors on-site during the Opening Ceremony. 3
Community Outreach IDM recommended that TAITRA engage in a series of community outreach initiatives that would localize core messages of innovation and intelligence to local Milwaukee families. The IDM team worked with TAITRA to integrate the organization in the Milwaukee community at-large, partnering with prominent local museums located in close proximity to the Summerfest grounds. The IDM Brand team coordinated two events leading up to Summerfest: The first event was a meet-and-greet between Taiwan Excellence and Milwaukee kids/ campers who attended the Discovery World Science & Technology Center. The second event was a robotics workshop with the Betty Brinn Children s Museum. 4
SUCCESS HIGHLIGHTS 19 MEDIA OPPORTUNITIES were brought to TAITRA s attention exceeding the KPI of 15 opportunities asked of the team. 1 FEATURE STORY in the BizTimes of Milwaukee highlighting the Taiwan Excellence Experience Zone. 4 STORIES WITHIN 1 PUBLICATION OnMilwaukee.com that either mentioned Taiwan Excellence or featured its products and/or people. 763 SURVEYS were administered, exceeding the 500 survey KPI 2 PRESS RELEASES were drafted and distributed around the time of the event, resulting in 161.5m More than IMPRESSIONS in media markets across the United States and across the globe. The tent recieved NUMEROUS COMPLIMENTS from visitors and even the Summerfest team who informed the event manager that Taiwan Excellence had THE BEST LOOKING TENT ON THE GROUNDS. 5

CONFIRMED MEDIA PITCHED/EXPRESSED INTEREST Despite competition for media attention due to political and presidential activity in Milwaukee concurrent with TAITRA s time at Summerfest, IDM remained committed to delivering quality media coverage of Taiwan Excellence. IDM produced two press releases highlighting Taiwan Excellence Experience Zone resulting in more than 161.5 million international impressions and secured 19 media opportunities on site for Taiwan Excellence. The OnMilwaukee.com site is the most viewed media outlet during Summerfest; the value of showing there and having the number of stories we did far outweighs any traditional ad spend.
