  25. Relevant SnapshotsDKC Sports and Entertainment Programs

  26. DKC Sports Warner Home Video DKC has guided the nation’s No. 1 DVD company through its launch and growth in the sports category. In its role, DKC counsels Warner through strategic negotiation process with Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, Shaquille O’Neal and Terrell Owens (among others). DKC is also responsible for all media campaigns supporting NFL (including Super Bowl), NBA and NHL titles. In two years revenue has grown 300%. ESPN Asked to support ESPN’s “Without Sports” brand campaign, DKC turned the Watersmeet Nimrods (“Without Sports Who Would Cheer for the Nimrods?”) into a cultural phenomenon. The Nimrods were featured in the New York Times Magazine, appeared on the “Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and “CBS Sunday Morning.” Over $300,000 in Nimrod merchandise sold nationwide helped fund the school’s new auditorium. Liberty National Golf Club DKC was charged with building a buzz of excitement and anticipation for the opening of the $129 million golf course and to create a distinct luxury golf brand image driving membership sales. DKC set the tone with an A1 Wall Street Journal story followed by a strategic PR blitz to extremely targeted media outlets i.e. lifestyle and high end publications. By placing specific stories on amenities such as yacht, ferry and helicopter services to and from Manhattan, food by renowned chef Tom Colicchio and waiter service on the course, DKC built the brand that is “Liberty.” Each of these pieces emphasized that golfers would enjoy more than just a golf course by becoming a member of Liberty. With little to no advertising support, the public relations campaign was so successful that memberships sold out, there is now a two-year waiting list and such luminaries as Rudolph Giuliani, Robert Kraft, Bill Getty and David Simon have all become members of Liberty National Golf Club. Tiger Woods Foundation As the only agency representing Tiger Woods’ endeavors, DKC was tasked with developing a strategy to reposition his philanthropic efforts – The Tiger Woods Foundation – from what was perceived to be a youth golf academy into what is now recognized today as youth- empowering organization with a focus on academics. The process began with a USA Today cover story on Tiger’s devotion to advancing education for children and continued over two a two-year period through generation of strategic media placements devoted strictly to philanthropy and education. DKC’s efforts culminated with last January’s launch of the first Tiger Woods Learning Center. DKC counseled on the launch event, helped garner the participation of President Bill Clinton and produced a landmark profile of the Tiger Woods Learning Center for “60 Minutes.”

  27. DKC Entertainment EMI Music Developed a strategic, long-term communications plan that guided EMI through merger talks, executive changes and fluctuations in the music industry to cement EMI’s position as the world’s third largest music company and brand it as the only pure, stand-alone label. DKC was instrumental in shifting perception of the label from a catalogue heavy dinosaur to the ultimate artist friendly home and nurturer of new talent such as Coldplay, Norah Jones and Joss Stone. General Motors Turned a simple program sponsorship of Ken Burns’s “JAZZ,” into a blueprint on good corporate citizenship. DKC recruited marketing partners and embarked on a dual purpose campaign to not only gain viewers for the mini-series, but also draw supporters to General Motors’ efforts on behalf of “JAZZ.” The campaign resulted in 13 New York Times pieces alone, as well as GM-centric stories in USA Today, Entertainment Weekly, Newsweek and the Associated Press, and inclusions in Vogue, GQ, Vibe, and Time; doubled jazz music sales in America; garnered more than 40 million viewers for the 18-part series and won goodwill for GM’s efforts to help sustain an American cultural institution. American Express Converted a traditional credit card launch for the Blue card to a major pop culture happening that reached a young, savvy consumer. A major, free Central Park concert, coupled with a network special, and out of the gate PR launch, made the American Express Blue Card a must-own for people across the country, and helped underscore that American Express is a hip company in touch with an increasingly tech-conscious customer. Sirius Satellite Radio Asked to help brand Sirius as the place for quality programming, DKC has successfully ingratiated individual stations such as Eminem’s Shade 45 channel into not only widespread community acceptance, but also to a leadership position for all things hip-hop, resulting in many imitators. DKC also oversaw a seismic sea change in the radio industry with the announcement that Howard Stern was moving to Sirius, guided both Stern and Sirius through the move and are still activating programs that underscore the value of partnership. Cover stories on the relationship were secured in Entertainment Weekly, Esquire, New York magazine, as well as cover of the Arts & Leisure section of nearly every major daily newspaper across the country. Sean “Diddy” Combs DKC built this original personality brand and has spearheaded all of Comb’s endeavors and business venture roll outs with long term goals and short term execution, always maintaining the goal of enhancing and protecting Combs’ image and businesses. Campaigns included: restaurants, clothing and fragrance lines, music, publishing, production work, acting, athletic achievements, auto licensing deals, fragrances and books. The result is a personality brand name who continually reinvents himself and attains success every time.

  29. Delta Air Lines retained DKC in January 2003 to develop and implement an integrated marketing communications program to launch Song, a new low-cost carrier. In an atmosphere of economic uncertainty and industry layoffs (including those being incurred by Delta), DKC's main challenge was to develop a PR driven communications program that would generate enthusiasm among employees and the media alike. The strategy was to break Song out by positioning the airline as a fun, exciting lifestyle brand across a wide range of media platforms. DKC deconstructed the onboard experience, then created and supported partnerships with numerous DKC clients, including Kate Spade and Rande Gerber. DKC implemented an extremely aggressive and successful marketing/public relations program directed at lifestyle and travel media, not only airline business press. DKC utilized a wide range of online and virtual tactics aimed at younger flyers. These included extensive online polling, online contests and blogging linked to onboard in-flight entertainment content. Song performed ahead of plan, delivered profitability and further raised the bar for budget travel in style. CAV over $20 million and 100 million impressions in first six weeks; over 1,500,000,000 impressions generated by 2006. Due to DKC’s success in launching and positioning Song, Delta has retained DKC to develop and roll out the “New Delta” based on lessons-learned from Song. Retained by SIRIUS Satellite Radio to announce the acquisition of Howard Stern’s radio show and to promote Sirius’ original content. DKC developed and executed a major media blitz to promote SIRIUS Satellite Radio and to drive holiday radio sales timed with the start of The Howard Stern Show on SIRIUS. DKC developed unconventional initiatives to generate widespread media coverage and build buzz around SIRIUS Satellite Radio including: a Thanksgiving rally in Union Square during which Howard Stern handed out gifts to fans. Announced partnership with Eminem, Shady Records and Interscope Records to create a cutting-edge hip-hop music channel exclusively for SIRIUS; the “World’s Sexiest Voice” contest with Motley Crue, Gilbert Gottfried and Jim Breuer as celebrity hosts for SIRIUS’ Maxim Radio; announced Catholic Radio channel with New York Times exclusive. Media coverage has included: New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, Billboard, AP, Reuters, Washington Post, LA Times, Hollywood Reporter, cover stories in Entertainment Weekly, New York Magazine and Esquire, Today Show, 60 Minutes, Late Show with David Letterman and coverage in all other major markets.

  30. BMG was to release a remixed “greatest hits” collection to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Elvis Presley’s death, as part of a multi integrated Elvis campaign that also included books, magazines, collectors boxed sets, etc. With no star or family spokesperson, and an eroding brand essence that had gone from being a harbinger of pop culture to Vegas lounge act, DKC was retained to ensure the album and the Presley legacy stood out from the onslaught of commemorative coverage. DKC came out of the gate early, and secured continuous media coverage for more than seven months in a cross platform of media e.g. Rolling Stone, Esquire, Parade, LA Times, Newsweek, Details, Interview, “Today Show,” and “Dateline” that highlighted the Presley voice, music and multitude of cultural contributions. DKC created a partnership with NBC to create the one-hour tribute special “Elvis Lives” for November sweeps. As a result, “Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits” sold more than 10 million albums worldwide, spawned other Elvis branded initiatives and DKC retained for AOR for all BMG licensed Elvis products. GM hired DKC to win recognition for its support of Ken Burns’ films on PBS. For “JAZZ,” DKC executed the largest-ever marketing campaign on behalf of a documentary film, including partnerships with NBA, Starbucks, United Negro College Fund, American Airlines, Sony, Verve and Amazon, to gain recognition for GM. DKC organized a national press conference emceed by Wynton Marsalis, to introduce GM as the corporate ringleader who aims to resuscitate jazz music in America. DKC organized a nationwide media blitz, as well as a 19-city promotional tour comprised of screenings, appearances, book and CD signings, and music events. Feature and cover stories in USA Weekend, NY Times, Newsweek, Time, Entertainment Weekly, Vanity Fair, GQ, Details, Esquire, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Time Out NY, and multi part series on “Today Show,” “CBS Sunday Morning,” “Charlie Rose,” “Larry King,” etc. Efforts doubled overall Jazz sales in America, and tune-in for PBS, propels companion CD to the top of Billboard charts, companion book to top of New York Times bestseller list.

  31. Budget - Scope Unlike many agencies, DKC does not bill by the hour; rather, we work to meet our very high standards on a retainer basis (and until the job gets done). The fee structure is based upon the scope of work and the team needed to make it happen. DKC’s current monthly structure with Sprint provides for a $25,000 fee in January and February and $20,000/month for the rest of the year. The fee would include account management, development and execution of a comprehensive communications and publicity program, writing of basic press materials, implementation of agreed upon media relations campaign and client counseling. Out-of-pocket expenses are billed separately plus a 15% mark-up. Fees for special event development or other special projects would be negotiated separately.

  32. Budget - Hourly Rates This hourly grid represents the estimated value of the work performed by DKC on behalf of Sprint on a monthly basis. We are able to work with you to establish a billing structure to meet your needs through a retainer, hourly billing or a combination of the two.
