  • Cardiff Council Cyngor Caerdydd Executive
    CARDIFF COUNCIL CYNGOR CAERDYDD EXECUTIVE BUSINESS MEETING: 3 NOVEMBER 2011 WORLD BOXING CONVENTION 2013 (WBC) REPORT OF CHIEF OFFICER (CITY DEVELOPMENT) AGENDA ITEM: 11 PORTFOLIO : TRANSPORT & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Reason for this Report 1. To enable Cardiff to host the World Boxing Council Convention 2013 and approve appropriate budgets to assist in developing the event programme. 2. To attract a World Title bout and Convention which will have an economic impact of up to £3.2m in the city economy 3. To enhance Cardiff’s reputation as an international sports capital and to generate significant global media exposure to promote the city on an international stage. Background 4. Over the last decade Cardiff has built an international reputation for the successful delivery of high profile sporting events, including; the Rugby World Cup; the FA Cup and Heineken Cup Finals, the Ashes Test and the Ryder Cup. Alongside this the city has developed a world-class sporting and visitor destination infrastructure. In recognition of this Cardiff was recently awarded the status of European Capital of Sport. 5. It is recognised that this programme of major sporting events has led to significant benefits for the city economy, including: attracting tourists and the additional consumer spend they bring into the local economy; world- wide media coverage and profile; increased civic and national pride and encouraging increased participation in sporting activities. 6. The World Boxing Council Night of the Champions and World Boxing Convention therefore represent significant opportunities for Cardiff to build on its established platform and to expand into a new events market, with the ultimate aim of becoming a recognised location for major boxing events.

  • Eisteddfod Branding
    The National Eisteddfod The National Eisteddfod is Wales’ largest festival, held alternately in north and south Wales, celebrating the Welsh language and culture of Wales. Its history can be traced back to the court of the Lord Rhys in 1176, with the modern day Eisteddfod held every year bar one since 1861. The festival has evolved and developed greatly over the past ten years, with over 1,000 events held across the Maes (site) during the eight-day festival. The Eisteddfod also plays host to over 200 competitions, with many of these held in the main Pavilion during the week. The other events are held across the Maes, some in semi- permanent buildings and others in attractive tents and yurts, such as Tŷ Gwerin and Caffi Maes B. We know the Eisteddfod and the community project are unique. Our brand needs to celebrate and embrace this uniqueness. Information on the festival and all events can be found online, www.eisteddfod.wales The project The Eisteddfod is looking to rebrand the festival and the organisation over the next year. The Eisteddfod festival is an iconic brand, the word itself is known across the world, and our brand needs to reflect this, with the word playing a central part in any graphic. Typography is very important to us. With so many events and activities held during the week and the community project, the typography must be strong and instantly recognisable – emphasising the uniqueness of the festival and the project and its central place in the culture of Wales. The successful agency will need to deliver a brand which overcomes a number of challenges.

Introduction 1.1 Golden Thread 1 Directorate Delivery Plan – Template Key Terms The Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act • This Act is about improving the social, economic, environmental and cultural well-being of Wales. The 7 Well-being Goals • To make sure all public bodies are working towards the same vision, the Act puts in place seven wellbeing goals. City Wide Outcomes • Seven high level outcomes have been by agreed Cardiff’s Public Services Board partners • Achieving these outcomes requires action across a range of organisations. Council Priorities • The Council’s priorities recognise the most important areas that need to be addressed in the short to medium term. Well-being Objectives • 7 Well-being Objectives have been identified across the 4 Priorities. These reflect specific areas where the Council wishes to see improvement and the specific outcome we want to achieve. Steps • Steps are specific initiatives that the Council will undertake to deliver the Well-being Objectives and contribute to City Wide Outcomes. Measuring Progress 2 1.2 Directorate Delivery Plan (DDP) • Progress will be measured by a basket of indicators. With increasing pressure on many services the Council is responsible for, we must be clear about our priorities. The Council is doing this and the four key priorities are: Our priorities: • Working for Cardiff • Working for Wales • Working for the Future • Working for Public Services For each priority, a number of well-being objectives have been established; and for each well-being objective, high level “steps” and performance indicators have been identified.
