Electric Valley 2016,

About the event

Electric Valley is a 2-day camping festival centered around electronic music.  It is Utah's only camping festival and resembles Insomniac's Electric Forest.  Below is a comprehensive description of all aspects of the festival, as well as a brief overview of our company, Offbeat Events.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Our mission is to have as much fun as possible through the successful planning and execution of hybrid music festivals and carnivals while promoting and ensuring the safety of our employees, performers and customers.

Offbeat Events, LLC is an event production company that specializes in hybrid music festivals and carnivals.  Our goal is to create unique events that bring people together from all social and economic backgrounds through a common love of music and while continuously emulating and encouraging the core principles of peace, love, unity and respect.  Offbeat Events will become the 2^nd largest event production company in Utah by 2020.  We will stand as a bridge for aspiring artists and DJs to get from the bedroom to the green room – from the garage to the main stage in front of thousands.

Founded by Jeremy Franklin on March 16, 2015, Offbeat Events was created to give Utah, and hopefully one day the world, a new view of what music festivals can be – that they shouldn’t be limited to a specific genre and that dancing doesn’t have to be the only reason to attend.  After successfully hosting about half a dozen shows and events in 2014 in clubs and public parks, Franklin felt it was time to expand the size and reach of his events. 

In 2014, Franklin took second place in a DJ competition to perform an opening set for the largest artist in the EDM scene, Steve Aoki.  When he lost to the DJ in 10^th place, it raised his eyebrows enough to realize he needed to create a similar opportunity for other DJs and artists, but fair and consistent.  Thus Electric Valley was born.  After successfully planning, hosting and funding Electric Valley 2014, Franklin realized two things – not only was planning and hosting events incredibly fun, but he was also good at it.

BACKGROUND OF PROPOSAL 

In order to be a success and profitable, Electric Valley has many components that all must come together in a specific order, following a precise timeline.  Many of these components require funding upfront, while the main portion of time leading up to the event is dedicated to promoting and focusing on ticket sales.

This year’s event is projected to require a $30,000 budget, half of which has already been acquired.  The purpose of this entire proposal is to provide enough information to make an informed decision to not only provide the remaining sponsorship, but also discuss the opportunity of becoming a partner.  The return on investments in the EDM scene throughout the world has been in an upward soar for over a decade.  Companies such as 7 UP, Chevrolet and Red Bull have been majorly involved in EDM for the past few years alone.

BENEFITS OF SPONSORSHIP

In addition to the monetary gain, primary investors are entitled to premium booth placement during the festival to promote their company and/or products as they wish.  The festival will have multiple company banners as sponsor advertisements throughout the grounds.  If desired, the sponsor will also receive two 5-minute slots per day to make announcements on the main stage to promote the sponsor’s company.
