[MARKETING] [CASE STUDY]

Brand Management

TSG specialises in the marketing and positioning of products and brands into the boardriding cultures.

TSG can involve your product/brand in over 120 events annually and will ensure that it is
exposed to all levels and sub-cultures of boardriding. This includes shortboarders,
longboarders, bodyboarders, kneeboarders, skateboarders, snowboarders, male & female,
boardriders clubs, charities, airshows, juniors, community events, in-store promotions, video launches, parties etc.

TSG will represent and manage your product/brand awareness in the boardriding culture by
undertaking the following:

  • Create sponsorship, promotional and marketing opportunities
  • Contact, forge and maintain relationships within the culture
  • Product giveaways and delivery to each event
  • Ensure your logo is placed on all event promotional material e.g. entry forms, posters,tshirts and event programs etc
  • A TSG representative will be present at each event to ensure correct signage and
    presentation of your brand/product
  • Utilise branded merchandise to enhance brand exposure
  • Product sampling
  • Create media opportunities through the sponsorships
  • Activity reports including examples of promotional material, photographs at events etc will be presented to the client each month - this material can be utilised as content on the client’s website
  • Provide a link from the TSG website to the client’s website
  • Post on the TSG website the client’s up-coming event schedule

TSG Brand Ambassador program

The TSG Brand Ambassador program creates athlete endorsements for your product. These athletes become the brand’s representatives at events and assure that your product is associated with champions.

This association starts with the Company Principal, Barton Lynch, 1988 World Surfing
Champion and extends to other ambassadors from the culture including surfers, skaters,
snowboarders, shapers, legends and companies.

Conclusion

At all times your brand is marketed with cultural integrity to ensure the success of the
promotion, create good will and to successfully position your brand in the boardriding culture.

TSG can tailor the brand management program to the client’s specific target demographic.

All of the results achieved in the case study that follows required no further expenses from the client other than the TSG monthly retainer. All sponsorships were leveraged using product and branded merchandise.

The boardriding culture is a largely untapped resource for brand promotion. TSG understands and is able to recognise and act upon opportunities within the surf culture as they arise.
