Global marketing firm is community sponsor of breadcrumb campaign
A four-day celebration of the creativity of the Triangle community, SPARKcon is funded by community sponsorship and focuses on local cultural richness.
Sleddogg is a community sponsor of the event–
Known for their pragmatic market approaches, Sleddogg Marketing Management is proud to step out of its structured business reputation and into an open-source environment by sponsoring Raleigh’s seventh annual SPARKcon!
This grass-roots “by the people for the people” type of event is coming to Raleigh, NC September 13 – 16, 2012.
SPARKcon can be described as a “creative potluck” of SPARKs of creative themes such as art, music, film, fashion, and ideas, etc.
Funding comes from participants’ pockets and the pockets of others excited to support local creativity. “The ideas and showcases come from inspired people,” shared organizer Cyn Macgregor. “These are people who have the ingenuity to say What if…?”
Sleddogg and Cyn Macgregor’s design agency (Cynergie Studio) have teamed up to help add an element of idea and fun by sponsoring an IdeaSPARK event — My BIG fat secret (MBFS), a way for SPARKcon participants to create art together. MBFS are post cards (scattered throughout downtown Raleigh), which have an area for participants to write their anonymous secrets.
The anonymous secrets are then gathered to form a mural, and displayed as one large art installation.
“When Cyn approached me for sponsorship it reminded me of a Breadcrumb campaign I was involved in during the Olympic Torch Relay in Argentina,” said Sleddogg’s Lea-Ann W. Berst. “What a wonderful way to grab attention and get people directly involved in the event!”
Each year, SPARKcon has over 50 organizers, hundreds of local talents are showcased, hundreds of volunteers helping behind the scenes, and thousands of attendees. All of these people equal SPARKcon. For more about SPARKcon and its creative potluck of SPARKS, please visit: www.sparkcon.com.
