The selected firm will create the messaging, the expression of the brand, and visual elements that will effectively communicate Downtown West Palm Beach District’s identity to target audiences. Visual elements will include recommended logo, colors, fonts, graphic style and elements that are adaptable across a variety of media applications, including but not limited to the district’s website(s) and social networks. c. Strategic Brand Implementation and Community Engagement. This task will define the activities designed to effectively establish the Downtown West Palm Beach District’s new brand identity, as well as identify ongoing strategies for communicating, maintaining, and enhancing the brand’s value over the first three years following introduction.

300 Clematis Street, Suite 200 West Palm Beach, FL 33401 MINUTES Regular Board Meeting Downtown Development Authority April 16, 2019 ATTENDANCE Board Members in attendance included, Chairman Robert Sanders, Esq., Lisa Gerard, Mary Hurley Lane, Cynthia Nalley, and Upendo Shabazz. DDA staff in attendance included Raphael Clemente, Teneka James, Tiffany Faublas, Catherine Ast, Samantha Murrell, Sherryl Muriente, Michelle Barascout, Shelly Williams and Max Lohman Esq. (Lohman Law Group). Guests in attendance included Allison Justice, Steve Daniels, Eileen Leo Ryan, Joey Nieves, Harry Stern, Mona Duffus, Tarcel King, Marlene Ryan, Kelly Cavers, Dylan Tracy, Maria Malmquist, Sharon Persaud, Carey O’Donnell, and Michelle Peterson. CALL TO ORDER Chairman Sanders called the meeting to order at 8:30 a.m. PUBLIC COMMENTS No public comments. Clemente introduced the new DDA Marketing Coordinator, Michelle Barascout to the board. PRESENTATIONS Staff asked the board to allow the Marketing/PR Update to be moved up on the agenda. Board allowed Faublas to present after O’Donnell Agency. Lord’s Place Outreach Team introduction Clemente introduced the Lord’s Place Outreach team and some of the staff members that will be working with the downtown team. The Lord’s Place staff provided an overview of the program and shared some of the stories and encounters they have with the homeless. The program will have monthly reports available to the DDA to review progress. O’Donnell Agency O’Donnell presented an overview of what Public Relation services are focused on. She provided some examples of the press releases and promotions that the DDA has used in the last quarter. She also shared some of the upcoming projects staff and O’Donnell Agency are working on. Nalley asked if there will be a story developed about the new office spaces coming into downtown and the job creation. O’Donnell stated that the Post does a good job of covering these stories, however we will be hosting a FAM tour in May to discover what you don’t know about Downtown. Part of that tour will include the newer construction that is taking place.

Page Two Regular Board Meeting April 16, 2019 Comcast Spotlight Ryan, Tracy, and Malmquist presented a summary of the digital campaign from December 2018 – March 2019. Google analytics have only been installed on the DDA website for one month, however overall the results are showing great increases. 20% increase in overall traffic, 11% increase in new users, and 29% increase is direct to DDA website users. The direct to DDA website users are remembering the URL from the commercial and typing it in to find out more information. Marketing/PR Update Faublas thanked the board for allowing her to present next, as she is tying the O’Donnell Agency and Comcast contracts together. For example, Harmony, an event the A&E produces and is sponsored by the DDA. O’Donnell Agency writes the press release and contacts media for the event, Comcast plays commercial advertising the event, and then Faublas uses the same information and video content to push on social media. Hurley Lane asked if Pairings can take place earlier in the year. James-Feaman stated that we can consider an earlier date for next year, however we do it as a boost to businesses going into the summer season. Clemente stated he was pleased to see all the Marketing and PR efforts tied together to show how all the parts works together to impact and drive traffic to downtown. It is a significant cost of the budget and very important as the areas of the edges of our boundary grow and hotels come live important to keep driving traffic to downtown.
