Summary

Boulevardia believes a desirable society stands on principle and aspires higher, that both can be accomplished while throwing a celebration AND sharing a commitment to important causes and responsible living. Boulevardia debuted in 2014, combining the best aspects of beer, food, music and community festivals to relentlessly reward all who cross their borders.

Challenge

Boulevardia was a brand new experience with big aspirations, featuring over 40 musicians on 3 stages, more than 150 beers from over 40 breweries and the best local food trucks and chefs. Don't forget the Ferris Wheel, VIP experiences, Greenville and Eco-Expo, a Makers Market featuring local handmade goods, a Cycling Ride to benefit cancer research and an effort to become a zero-waste event by 2018. That's a lot of info to communicate in an organized and useful way.

Solutions

Through the creation of a mobile responsive website designed to be the festival's central communications hub, a cross-platform mobile app to help guide Boulevardia's citizens during the fest, and active social media and email communications management, we provided the necessary digital channels to successfully engage and inform Boulevardia's citizens from the first ticket sale to the fest's last call.

Outcome

Year after year, Boulevardia proves to be a taste that resonates with more than 40,000 attendees over the two days of the festival's operation. Thanks to our friends at Visit KC, we know that our annual overall economic impact to the Kansas City area is estimated at $2.975 million dollars!
