Instead of just sponsoring an artist, we partnered with known rebel and Harley rider Kid Rock to co-develop a promotional campaign that would appeal to his fans. We offered a chance to get on stage each night and rock with Kid Rock by signing up at our party area. While there, they could also get on an actual running Harley. Online we offered a chance to rock with Kid at our 110th celebration.
