This month on Party in the Back we party with Cameron Hughes and Paintjam’s Dan Dunn.
Cameron and Host Jon Cudo talk about four recent promotions from the Rapid City Rush, Greenville Swamp Rabbits, Saint Louis Blues and Dallas Stars. We explore a question Cameron asks about promotions, “Can you feel it?” In other words, how can you elevate your promotion to evoke an emotional response from fans?
Great insights from Cameron discussing the value created when emotion is attached to a performance, game element or theme.
They also talk about the value of promotions that speak directly to your town. We look at market-specific promotions like the Rush’s Dances With Wolves, Deer Widow Night in Muskegon and even the Best of 2021 award-winning promotion Wonder’s Night from the Erie SeaWolves.
Then the party continues with Dan Dunn who shares the origins of the Paintjam! Show, what’s next for this multi-generational show and make-up sex (yes, really!). It’s a rollicking 20 minutes with the entertaining artist that you won’t want to miss.
