2013 STRENGTHS: Expanded national television package with three unique shows on NBC Sports Network and multiple re-airings on Universal Sports (x9 minimum) and Outside Television (x9 minimum). GoPro as new title partner. Secured multiple top tier public relations placements including CNET, Spike TV, Outside Magazine, Gizmodo, GrindTV and others. Elevated Slopestyle and Slackline events. Slopestyle as an FMB Silver event and the 2013 World Championships of Slackline in addition to the return of the only World Cup Bouldering event in the United States. Continued growth for social media properties including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. 467K ++ engagements across multiple platforms via the Mountain Games and our family of partners. Dogs. Increased participation in all DockDogs events and high social engagement for all things four legged.
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE: Expanded music/artists and more integration of music throughout the event. 2013 acts left a bit to be desired (GROUPLOVE cancelled). Disparate location in Golden Peak East for IFSC Bouldering World Cup and fly fishing. An increased focus on out of market and international attendees and competitors. Capitalizing on high-value TV events/tailoring current events for a TV audience.

implement a mobile app platform capable of sharing event information while activating partner/merchant offers at a hyper-local level. In addition, behavioral and demographic data was also collected to better understand the flow of
on-site event attendees.
- Real time interactive geolocation based FOMO Sonar Map - Countless “pings” created on map containing exclusive
content, giveaways and partner offers redeemed by event attendees.
Pre-Event National Scavenger Hunt:
Worked directly with 21 key sponsors the weekend before the event. 139 prizes valued at over $10,000 went live across the country and were redeemed. Winners had to
claim their prizes on-site in Vail. All prizes were redeemed. Scavenger Hunt winners continued to engage with
partners throughout the event as they used social media to post pictures of themselves with their new gear.
