Topline 3.17.11 review for

What is the strategic purpose and outcome of this endeavor – the “prize”?
• Create an unmatchable platform from which to speak to the World on the value of
education, the gift that generates personal, societal, economic, and political
benefits for a lifetime.
• Raise record-setting contributions to charities supporting education, health and
hunger relief to meet the World’s hunger in mind and body.
• Engage four billion viewers and fans worldwide, while earning a place in history for
setting the standard for this type of global event.
Why should artists and sponsors be excited and inspired by this?
• This global event will span distance, time, and cultures with music, the universal
language that connects us all.
• Continued coverage over the event’s full three days, from the opening ceremony to
the close, will showcase a sponsor’s purpose, products and philosophy.
• The World will see, as it happens, the defining moment of a generation’s global
movement toward awareness, tolerance, and cooperation.
iconic cause + music event
What are the imperatives for this to occur?
• This is not a competitive event similar to winning a bid for the Olympic Games or
World Cup, but rather a fight against the tyranny of the clock and calendar.
• Competition is for the attention of those whose participation will generate its
success – the artists and producers. This confidence will be gained when they see
commitment of financial and intellectual resources sufficient to carry the event
through to a successful completion.
• For that, the Primary Sponsor must be “all in … to the end.”
• Artists, producers, managers, and executive producers will leave their egos at home
and focus on the success of the larger event.
• Contracts with producers, venues, artists, and media must be in place in time to
organize and schedule the details of all artists’ performances and special events.
• Advanced RFID ticketing and social media outreach systems will be tested and finetuned in two smaller events in the run-up to this event in 2015.
iconic cause + music event
What is the strategy?
The Executive Production team has:
• Long-standing strategic relationships within the music and entertainment sector;
• Deep experience in mega-event production including the original “Live Aid”, “Live
Earth”, “Live 8”, and “Woodstock ’99”;
• A novel RFID ticketing system and related social media marketing system;
• Relationships and ongoing discussions with American Express, MySpace, E-Checks,
and major insurers;
• Commitments from major vendors at the event’s largest venue, Fair Park in Dallas;
• Current outreach to over 250,000 Twitter followers and growing fast; and
• Relationships with key government representatives in London, Rio de Janeiro, and
Dallas.
These already substantial assets will be integrated into five production “blocks” with
central coordination to orchestrate the event.
iconic cause + music event
What are the operational aspects and implementation model?
• Five of the World’s most experienced event producers, one of its top business
strategists, and two dozen marquee acts have joined the team.
• Individual live venues – Doha, London, Johannesburg, Rio de Janeiro, and Dallas –
will be handled as “blocks,” with individual senior producers handling each one.
• Integration of performances will be managed at a central media studio.
• Special events crossing multiple venues or time zones will be coordinated by the
central production team.
• Event will follow a 60-minute “production wheel.” Conceptually, rather than put on
a single 12-hour concert, production teams will put on a series of 12 one-hour
concerts, each with same schedule template. Transitions will occur at the same
minute within each hour so those at each venue will know where they are on “the
wheel.”
iconic cause + music event
Points of Light:
• Largest worldwide charity event ever produced in history September 5th 6th and 7th
of 2015; an historic worldwide event spanning distance, time, and cultures that will
be remembered for generations.
• Executive Production Board includes five of the world’s most experienced live
music event producers.
• 150 hours of live music over 3 consecutive days broadcast live from 5 locations:
Doha, London, Johannesburg, Rio de Janeiro, and Dallas.
• 4 Billion people: More people will view this event than the Olympics, World Cup,
Super Bowl, Masters Golf Tournament, and US Open Tennis Tournament combined.
• 1.4 Million tickets will be available to 3-day live concert events.
• Related events may pull in as many as 8 Million fans in Dallas and over 3 Million in
Rio de Janeiro.
• 100% of donations (>$1 Billion) will go to 100 pre-selected and vetted charities
with zero administrative deductions.
• 1.5 Million trees planted, all live music venues carbon neutral or positive.
iconic cause + music event
• Largest laser and fireworks shows ever produced.
• Largest ever walkathon across the US – from Dallas to New York in 4 months –
terminating at Times Square on Christmas Day, televised on “Good Morning
America.”
• Primary Sponsor’s logo illuminated in fireworks visible and televised from
International Space Station.
• Live concert begins in city of Primary Sponsor in the Middle East and ends in Dallas,
followed by beginning of walkathon to New York City.
• Many of world’s top musicians and artists will perform live in city where event
begins in Middle East. Some will “bookend,” i.e. play both there and in Dallas.
• Primary Sponsor’s logo will appear on every ticket sold, on all merchandising (e.g.
clothing, posters, videos, etc.), on all printed and televised media, on all large
screen TV’s, and on all outside stadium banners and posters at each site.
• Comparison: “Live Aid” reached over 2 Billion fans in 1985, and expected to raise
$1.5 Million. It raised $283 Million in one day, and to date has raised nearly …
$500 Million
