  • OTTO X Hurricane the CHALLENGE OTTO Is a Long Established Company
    OTTO x Hurricane THE CHALLENGE OTTO is a long established company. But even though OTTO has a high profile, it is still perceived as a very traditional brand. Nowadays though, OTTO inspires people through credible optimism. This mindset is what lead them to their motto - “we celebrate”. This optimism for life and the future lives within the company and its new positioning. OTTO is like an approachable friend who inspires people to explore new things with curiosity, ideas and experience. And this year OTTO hit a new milestone: 70 years of existence, seven decades of experience and progress. Something truly special and the best opportunity to spin the message of celebrating life even further. An occasion to spread the spirit into the world in major style, both in the online and offline world. THE OBJECTIVE We’re celebrating a birthday, but not just any birthday - it’s 70 YEARS OTTO! 70 YEAH! A play on words that aims the Generation Y and additionally symbolizes OTTO’s successful transformation from a former offline mail order business to a leading online shop. But OTTO is not celebrating itself, it’s about the consumer - loyal ones, new ones, first timers, it’s simply about people. We wanted to fill the audience with enthusiasm by spreading a never ending party mood. The goal was to set a motto that has a contagious and cheerful vibe - an invitation to celebrate the variety of the little things in life. Especially a younger audience was targeted to explore the full performance dimension of OTTO in a playful and approachable way.

  • Festival Legitimacy and Resource Acquisition: Strategies for Growth and Survival
    Festival Legitimacy and Resource Acquisition: Strategies for Growth and Survival By David Remillard A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Business Administration I.H. Asper School of Business University of Manitoba Copyright © 2014 by David Remillard Abstract This thesis explores legitimacy and legitimation strategies for resource acquisition using a life cycle approach in the festival and events context. A review of the extant festival and event’s research, suggests this topic is significantly under-covered. For further theoretical development the thesis reviewed the literatures of resource acquisition, with particular attention to resource dependency theory, and institutional theory, with its sub-topic legitimacy. Using an exploratory qualitative case study method, the researcher investigated eight festivals and analyzed them in terms of their efforts to build legitimacy at different stages of their life cycle. The author confirmed earlier research on sources of legitimacy that include, regulatory, pragmatic, normative, and cognitive types, and that four general strategies, conformance, selection, manipulation, and creation are used to achieve legitimacy from these sources. The data in this thesis also suggests that the stage of the festival’s life cycle serves as an important extension to the literature's previously established process model of resource acquisition and legitimacy, including a legitimacy threshold. The thesis concludes with a summary of the findings, limitations of the study, and by suggesting possibilities for future research. i Acknowledgements Many people contributed to this thesis and I’d like to start with my advisor, Nathan Greidanus, whose patience and guidance were indispensable and greatly appreciated.
