Their Challenge
The LPGA and UL were looking to build awareness for the new event and generate ticket sales. The need to build a lasting brand was essential. Of the eight competing countries, half were from Asia (Team Korea, Team Japan, Team Chinese Taipei and Team Chicago). The organizers recognized the need to connect with Asian audiences as well as the more traditional golf fan base.
Our Solution
KemperLesnik devised a balanced communications strategy that tapped traditional sports and golf audiences while placing an emphasis on connecting with key Asian community groups and prominent organizations with partnerships and pre-tournament events. The team galvanized communities of Asian sports fans through a series of key events and patriotic appeals to create excitement and buzz for the International Crown.
“A huge thank you for supporting us in every way in the lead up and for truly RUNNIN a media center during the week of the event. First class – best I have seen in my 5 years at one of our big events.”
Kraig Kann, former LPGA Chief Communications Officer
