$75,000 to Support New Festival Event  

Launching a new nationwide culinary festival seemed like a daunting task.  The production team hired Symphony Advancement to identify funding resources and manage marketing services allowing this organization to attract over 100,000 festival patrons and secure $75,000 in advertising support. 

• Patrons and festival attendees from 26 states nationwide 
• Local economic impact estimated at over $2 million in tourism
• Social media, outdoor billboards, radio and magazine ads 

 $60,000 For Marketing & Outreach Services  

In the aftermath of COVID, this adult care provider needed to recover from a government ordered freeze placed on the program.  All admissions were put on hold and no residents were allowed to leave.  When the restrictions were lifted the organization was struggling financially and needed to convince the public it was safe to return.  Symphony Advancement secured more than $60,000 in marketing support in addition to private grant funds necessary to continue daily operations.  A targeted outreach campaign achieved over 100,000 media impressions, including national media coverage and resulted in a 300% increase in referrals. 

• Feature articles in two nationwide publications 
• Three televised specials broadcast on local television 
• Special opportunity to throw the first pitch during a Major League Baseball game, resulted in national media coverage courtesy of ESPN
• Monthly event attendance grew from 12 participants to 75 

 $40,000 in School Marketing Funds  

With only one private school in the region, it was critical that declines in enrollment cease and the school identify new ways to attract students.  Symphony Advancement helped identify and secure more than $40,000 in marketing resources which allowed the school to hire a new full time admissions director and launch a regional advertising campaign.   

• New full time Admissions Director 
• Enrollment increase of 10%
• New brand materials, website and marketing resources for ongoing use
