June 6, 2012 U
REFERRAL TO THE FINANCE AND CITYWIDE PROJECTS COMMITTEE, A
DISCUSSION REGARDING A PROPOSED MUNICIPAL MARKETING
PROGRAM FOR SOUTH POINTE PARK, AND AN UPDATE ON OTHER
POTENTIAL MUNICIPAL MARKETING PARTNERSHIPS.
As you are aware, the City has been involved in efforts to maximize its strong brand presence by
partnering with corporate entities in a manner that generates good publicity and marketing for the
City, while at the same time generating revenue or providing savings to the City. The City's
municipal marketing (also known as "corporate sponsorship") consultant, The Superlative Group
(TSG), has identified priorities for their efforts, while other activities have been identified to be
pursued internally with the City's Development Coordinator. The City's Development Coordinator
serves as the contract support staff for TSG.
Efforts have focused on identifying potential municipal marketing partners and opportunities for
partnership, and reaching out to these potential partners to gauge interest. The current economic
conditions have impacted the marketing budgets for many large corporations with histories of
engaging in these types of partnerships; municipal marketing efforts are funded principally from
marketing budgets, as they serve the primary purpose of promoting the corporation's brand and/or
product. Not surprisingly, corporate marketing budgets have been impacted and are often the first
affected when cost-cutting measures are initiated. While we continued to pursue various efforts in
municipal marketing, as you know, we made considerable progress in the area of an
Exclusive/Official citywide beverage partner, resulting in the ten-year exclusive, non-alcoholic
beverage sponsorship with Coca-Cola Refreshments.
Most recently, TSG has initiated discussions with a large corporate entity interested in partnering
with the City on South Pointe Park. These discussions have progressed considerably and direction
from the Committee/Commission is necessary at this time to determine whether to proceed with
negotiations. Other discussions are also underway relating to a licensed sunscreen product
("official Miami Beach sunscreen") and SoundScape Park. All of these opportunities all represent
sponsorship funds for the City, but will require the City's agreement to the proposed terms.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and the City Commission refer the matter of a
potential Municipal Marketing partnership for South Pointe Park, and an update on other potential
municipal marketing opportuntiies, to the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee for discussion
and further direction.
