Strictly’s Brian and Kristina come to Kent

admin — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 18:08:09 +0000

Following the overwhelming success of our first event starring the Strictly Come Dancing professional dancers (An evening with Ian Waite and Camilla Dallerup) in June, e-Motive Media is presenting a brand new event in October.

Strictly stars Brian Fortuna and Kristina Rihanoff are taking time off from their busy TV schedule to headline our second dance event at Ditton Community Centre, near Maidstone, on Sunday 25 October. They’ll be performing a fabulous American-style dance cabaret and meeting everyone for photos and autographs.

We sold out all 300 tickets for our first event in three weeks, and early indications suggest we’re on course to do the same with this one! As before, we’ve done all the marketing and promotion in house – from creating a high-impact micro-site with integrated PayPal for ticket sales to designing the flyers and posters (and working with our print partner to get the very best deal!), writing the associated press release and promoting the event across Twitter, Facebook and many other online channels, including our website www.strictlydancers.com. An integrated Google map will help our guests find the venue, and we’ve rounded off the marketing push with a Google AdWords campaign.

Tickets are on sale now at www.strictlykent.com (or you can call us on 01622 717977 for more details)!

An evening with Ian Waite and Camilla Dallerup

Last night the e-Motive Media team tore themselves away from their keyboards to host “An evening with Ian Waite & Camilla Dallerup”. The dance spectacular was hosted by Starlite School of Dance’s Mark Shutlar, and featured a ballroom demonstration from local stars Paul Harding and Jodie Tolhurst, cha cha cha competition and Ian & Camilla’s superb Latin showcase.

Tickets for the event went on sale back in April and sold out in just 3 weeks thanks to promotion on StrictlyDancers.com, a dedicated event website StrictlyKent.com, and promotion via email, flyers, mail and online social media such as Facebook, Twitter and online forums.

The success of the event has encouraged us to host another Strictly Come Dancing themed night featuring Brian Fortuna and Kristina Rihanoff – and we can’t wait!

Strictly Kent Dancing

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 12:44:54 +0000

During the process of creating the Strictly Dancers website (a listings site for events involving Strictly Come Dancing’s professional dancers), we learned a huge amount about what goes into organising and running a Strictly dance event. We also realised that our home county of Kent was a bit short of chances for Strictly fans to meet the dancers!

So we decided to organise our own, using our extensive network of online and offline contacts, systems and expertise.

Our first event – An evening with Ian Waite and Camilla Dallerup - is set to happen on 5 June 2009 at Ditton Community Centre, near Maidstone. And we sold out over 300 tickets in three weeks!

The online side of things was key to our highly successful ticket sales. We created the Strictly Kent microsite as the destination for both online and offline marketing, designing the site in line with the look and feel of our print posters and flyers.

We integrated PayPal as our primary payment channel, to great success, enabling customers to buy tickets securely online either with their own PayPal accounts or with a debit or credit card.

To help our guests – some travelling from as far away as Loughborough, Exeter and High Wycombe – find the venue, we included an interactive Google map on the site.

We used targeted Google AdWords and Facebook advertising campaigns to drive highly targeted visitors to the site at a tiny cost, as well as using our Facebook and Twitter contacts from the Strictly Dancers website to spread the word.

Offline, we produced A5 flyers and A3 posters tied closely in with the site design, as well as secure, uniquely-numbered two-part tickets for our guests.

With tickets having sold out so quickly, we’re now working on our next Strictly event – watch this space!
