Bakersfield Condors News Release
BAKERSFIELD Calif.-The ECHL announced today that the Bakersfield Condors are the 2009-10 winner of the league's Marketing Award of Excellence. It is the second time in the last three seasons the Condors have claimed the honor, also winning it in 2007-08.
The award recognizes the ECHL team that executes a well-rounded marketing, sponsorship and advertising campaign with consideration given to sponsorship sales, advertising, marketing campaign and promotions. In particular, the league office recognized unique and publicity-generating promotions such as Toilet Plunger Giveaway Night and King of Pop Jersey Raffle & Auction, which garnered attention from non-regional publications and websites such as Yahoo.com and the Los Angeles Times.
The Condors were recognized for their marketing campaign for the season, which included the slogan "Strong Team, Strong Town," and also for the numerous programs and promotions that are incorporated into their community relations endeavors. Events such as Hockey-Thon, canned food drives, coat drive and Teddy Bear Toss Night, which ranks among the most successful such promotion in all of the minor league and major junior hockey ranks, continue to draw strong participation from fans and help support the community.
"The Condors continue to come up with innovative ideas to entertain their fans and keep the product fresh, despite a tough economy," said ECHL Commissioner Brian McKenna. "This approach, combined with their strong community outreach programs, make the Condors a logical and well deserving recipient of the Marketing Award of Excellence."
"We're very proud of this award because it includes the efforts of our entire staff and our fan base here in Condorstown," said Condors President Matthew Riley. "It's a great honor and we're already looking forward to building on that for this coming All-Star season."
