Opportunity

 

VOLTA was Cirque du Soleil’s first show programmed in Oaks, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, approximately 40 minutes from Center City Philadelphia.  The challenge was influencing Philadelphia-based press to attend media events for the two-month run while also ensuring local audiences embraced the Cirque brand.

Approach

 

Working in conjunction with CJM Public Relations, the team offered dozens of media opportunities, including a media preview day before the show arrived, Big Top raising event, behind-the-scenes access during the run, a large Premiere event during opening night, plus a food-inspired afternoon highlighting the on-site gourmet kitchen.

The Result

 

VOLTA was featured on all major television networks in the market, in many cases two or three times.  Press and influencers were in attendance during every week of the two-month engagement.  The Oaks site was a fiscal success, with Cirque du Soleil planning future return engagements.
