  • Using Green Man Festival As a Case Study
    An Investigation to identify how festivals promotional techniques have developed over the years – using Green Man Festival as a case study Victoria Curran BA (hons) Events Management Cardiff Metropolitan University April 2018 i Declaration “I declare that this Dissertation has not already been accepted in substance for any degree and is not concurrently submitted in candidature for any degree. It is the result of my own independent research except where otherwise stated.” Name: Victoria Curran Signed: ii Abstract This research study was carried out in order to explore the different methods of marketing that Green Man Festival utilises, to discover how successful they are, and whether they have changed and developed throughout the years. The study intended to critically review the literature surrounding festivals and festival marketing theories, in order to provide conclusions supported by theory when evaluating the effectiveness of the promotional strategies. It aimed to discover how modern or digital marketing affected Green Man’s promotional techniques, to assess any identified promotional techniques and identify any connections with marketing theory, to investigate how they promote the festival towards their target market, and to finally provide recommendations for futuristic methods of promotion. The dissertation was presented coherently, consisting of five chapters. The first chapter was the introduction, providing a basic insight into the topics involved. The second contains a critical literature review where key themes were identified; the third chapter discussed the methodology used whilst the fourth chapter presents the results that were discovered, providing an analysis and discussion. The final chapter summarises the study, giving recommendations and identifying any limitations of the study.

This is exacerbated by the fact that participants disperse soon after the gathering, potentially spreading disease within their communities. The dispersion of participants also poses a challenge for traditional surveillance methods. The ubiquitous use of the Internet may enable the detection of disease outbreaks through analysis of data generated by users during events and shortly thereafter. Objective: The intent of the study was to develop algorithms that can alert to possible outbreaks of communicable diseases from Internet data, specifically Twitter and search engine queries.

  • Is It Just the Music? Towards an Understanding of Festival-Goers and Their Experience at UK Music Festivals
    Is it just the Music? Towards an Understanding of Festival-goers and their Experience at UK Music Festivals by Alyssa Eve Brown PGCert, BA (Hons), FHEA A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire April 2019 i STUDENT DECLARATION FORM Concurrent registration for two or more academic awards I declare that while registered for the research degree, I was with the University’s specific permission, an enrolled student for the following awards: Post Graduate Certificate in Business and Management Research Methods Post Graduate Certificate in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education Material submitted for another award I declare that no material contained in the thesis has been used in any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work Signature of Candidate ______________________________________________________ Type of Award PhD__________________________________________________ School Lancashire School of Business and Enterprise ii Abstract Festivals are an adventure of the emotional and physical senses and can create unforgettable, exciting and thrilling memories of unfamiliar and unique experiences. With music festivals in particular, there is an additional emphasis on the chance to experience live music by often idolised musicians within a temporary community of shared musical interests. However, whilst a music festival may attract visitors through advertising an attractive and appealing line-up of popular acts, this far from guarantees a happy customer. There are many other elements that contribute to and impact upon the experience of the festival-goer (Morgan, 2008: 83). If these elements are managed well, this can result in benefits for both the consumer, through positive emotional and cognitive experiences, and for the organisation through repeat custom, recommendations and increased sales.

  • Events Mismanagement: Learning from Failure
    CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS Events Mismanagement: Learning from failure Edited by Tim Brown, Tom Fletcher, Lindsey Gaston & Phil Higson Dear Colleagues, We are inviting contributions for chapters for a new edited text - Events Mismanagement: Learning from failure. Rationale With events being estimated to be worth £70 billion in the UK, and hundreds of $billions worldwide, the stakes are incredible high for the event industry and for event professionals to deliver high quality events. This is coupled with an expectant consumer who has increasingly high demands for quality and value for money. Events professionals are therefore under intense pressure to continually exceed these expectations. Under this pressure, and with increasing demand for more innovative events, mistakes do occur, some minor but too many that are catastrophic. Whilst these case studies are often cited by leading event professional associations and networks, as well as in event education for ‘learning’, there is potentially far more that can be learnt from a more systematic appraisal of the mismanagement of events. Currently there is limited scholarship regarding the mismanagement of events, as the overwhelming extent of the literature focusses on the creation, design, planning, managing and evaluation of events. The proposed title therefore aims to build knowledge by examining the failure of events in the context of the various planning stages of the event management process and how we can learn from these event failures. Topics The themes of mismanagement within the book

  • Festival Industry and Funding Models
    Festival Industry and Funding Models This research report focussed on providing an insight into the music festival industry and in particular associated business models. Industry Overview UK Music estimates that 3.9 million people attended a festival in the year 20161. There are no official counts of how many music festivals are held in the UK, however they have become increasingly popular and estimates sit at well over 500 (see further sources). As there are many different forms of music festival such as single day festivals and bi-annual ones, it can be quite difficult to measure. One website tracking UK music festivals identifies there are 116 music festivals in the period of June 2018-2019 in the South West alone2. Due to the many music festivals in operation at present, one challenge that those in the industry face is market saturation. This has several potential consequences attached, primarily making it more difficult to sell tickets. Additionally, the associated costs such as hiring musicians, venues and catering also become higher as competition increases3. One of the ways the success of a music festival can be measured is through music tourism; non-local people travelling to attend a festival. Money is both injected into the festival and local economy from attendees that would otherwise not have been in the location. Music tourists contribute to the local economy both directly, through purchasing tickets and spending money at the festival, and indirectly such as through travel, accommodation and spending in the local economy. This value is distributed differently around the UK, with hubs like the South East and the South West having a greater share of music tourists than areas like the North East.
