KidGlov Ropes a Nebraska Tourism Award

After the dust settled at the Lancaster Event Center Fairgrounds (LECF), hosts of the 2021 National High School Finals Rodeo, we were honored to receive an Outstanding Marketing Campaign Award from Nebraska Tourism! Yee-haw!

After being selected by the National High School Rodeo Association (NHSRA) to host the event in Lincoln for the very first time, LECF turned to KidGlov to design a tough-as-nails marketing campaign that would accomplish three goals:

  • Increase rodeo attendance from competitors’ families and fans
  • Capture the attention of rodeo enthusiasts
  • Highlight opportunities for spectators to watch, shop and eat while at the event

And accomplish them we did, with a record-breaking turnout at the rodeo resulting in 2,800 event wristbands and 19,066 tickets sold.

Amy Dickerson, managing director of LECF, told the Lincoln Journal Star that the success of the event is attributed largely to KidGlov’s marketing campaign, which included national and local television and radio spots, print and digital advertising, outdoor billboards, social media content, physical banners throughout downtown Lincoln, and a landing page that tied everything together.

“The world’s largest rodeo turned out to be a monumental win for LECF, the community and the state,” said Lyn Wineman, our founder and president. “Considering the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and a windstorm which hit LECF the week prior, we felt the results of the campaign and the event were particularly gratifying.”

In addition to event wristband and ticket sales, our campaign for LECF generated over 23 million trackable earned and paid media impressions, while digital and social impressions reached over 12.5 million. The event’s landing page, which achieved 111,412 page views, helped to completely sell out every single camping site, for a total of 1,369 bookings.

We received our award from Nebraska Tourism during their 2021 Nebraska Tourism Conference, which took place in Grand Island, NE, from October 19 – 21, 2021. What’s more, the rodeo itself, which took place from July 18 – 24, 2021, received an award from Nebraska Tourism for Outstanding Event.

This most recent award caps off an impressive year for us, which included winning 18 awards at the 2021 AMA Omaha Pinnacle Awards show, being named Agency of the Year and winning Best in Show; and walking away with 15 honors at this year’s AMA Lincoln Prism Awards, as well as the coveted Corporate Marketer of the Year designation.

3 Ways to Humanize Your Direct Mail

The key word in direct mail is “direct”. According to Merriam-Webster, the definition of direct mail is papers containing advertisements that are mailed directly to people’s homes. According to the US Postal Service, 98% of people check their mail daily and Americans spend upwards of 30 minutes with their mail on a single occasion. Many people, like me, love direct mail is because we can touch it, it comes to our homes, and it cuts through the digital noise that many of us experience while at work. Some even say that being able to touch and feel direct mail incites more human emotions than digital platforms do. It’s simple really. Anything you can do to make your direct mail feel like it was sent by a human vs. a robot, the better. Here are three ways you can give your fundraising appeals a friendly, human touch. 1) Humanize Your Direct Mail Through Personalization Using variable data printing is a great way to address donors and potential donors by name instead of the form letter...

Lincoln LOVs KidGlov

We love Lincoln! It’s why we set up shop here more than 11 years ago and why we were pleased as punch to be named one of its Best Places to Work in June. Lincoln’s Best Places to Work is sponsored by Woods Aikens LLP along with the Lincoln Human Resource Management Association and the Lincoln Journal Star . The awards recognize Lincoln businesses and organizations that have a proven track record of supporting and engaging with their employees. For the third time since 2017 we were honored in the small business category. “Culture has always been our key focus at KidGlov,” said Katherine Warren , our chief operating officer and head of culture. “Our manifesto focuses on giving our team the time and space they need to do the work they LOV for clients they LOV with a team they LOV.” Now in its fifth year, Best Places to Work administers an employee engagement survey to measure corporate culture to help pinpoint top workplaces.
