2013 GoPro Mountain Games Stakeholders Report

2013 STAKEHOLDERS REPORT

MESSAGE TO OUR PARTNERS 2013 STRENGTHS:

Dear Friends, We are sincerely grateful for your business and partnership. The success of the GoPro Mountain Games is directly attributable to 80+ top tier outdoor lifestyle brands that choose this event as one of the platforms by which to showcase your products and services and grow your brand.

GoPro as new title partner.

We remain very proud of this event and sincerely hope it has helped you to exceed your own brand goals and objectives. 2013 was a year of many changes and we thank all of you for helping to make it the most well attended Mountain Games to date.

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).

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.

Overview:

VVF/Mtn. Games partnered with FOMO Media to 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.
