2010 Dunedin Midwinter Carnival the biggest ever!

At Immersion Marketing we love getting involved with community events, so we jumped at the chance of being publicist for the Dunedin Midwinter Carnival.

The Midwinter Carnival is a fantastic family focussed event that truly showcases Dunedin's rich artistic talent. Organised by a group of extremely passionate artists and volunteers Immersion added our public relations expertise to the mix and enjoyed working on the project immensely.

The results spoke for themselves, an estimated crowd of 10,000, the event's biggest turnout ever and an increase of over 40% on 2009. Significant media in the lead-up to the Carnival saw all lantern making workshops sell out in record time and generated an estimated $78k worth of media coverage.

Immerison undertook:
- Media release writing and distribution
- Media liaison and management
- Social media management (checkout the Facebook page)
- Online marketing
- Email marketing

2011 planning is already well underway!
