To spread the Brisbane Fitness Expo message quickly, efficiently and effectively, the Major League team has adopted a multi-platform marketing strategy that includes the use of a variety of online tools.

The Expo website went live last week in response to an encouraging demand for more information about the event from prospective exhibitors and sponsors.  One of the other online tools Major League have drawn on is Facebook. This will be the place to view regular updates highlighting Expo developments.

Major League have also produced a short promotional YouTube video for the Expo, which provides further insight to how the Expo initiative developed and why we are confident it will be a successful event.

Round two of the Women's Australian Hockey League (AHL), was hosted by Queensland at the Cairns Hockey Centre late last month.

As the external Marketing Department of Hockey Queensland, Major League was responsible for all media and marketing promotion of the event.  Major League is proud to report almost $70,000 worth of media coverage was generated for the two day event.

Some of the highlights of the coverage included Channel 7’s filming of the Queensland team arriving at the Cairns Airport, ABC Grandstand’s live interview with Australian and Queensland Captain Madonna Blyth, and also The Cairns Post’s six page event lift out, complete with colour photos, player interviews, team profiles and coaches’ comments.

Major League are pleased to be heading ‘up the range’ with the Former Origin Greats as their highly successful Employment and Careers Expo series hits Toowoomba for the first time.

The Expos are aimed at Indigenous school leavers and job seekers and in 2011 have been attracting record numbers all over the state. So far this year the Expos have visited Cairns, Mackay and Mt Isa with Townsville, Rockhampton, Brisbane and now Toowoomba is on the agenda for the second half of 2011. We’re expecting the Expo to be a huge success in the ‘Garden City’ and we’re already getting a warm response from local employment and training providers.

Major League are proud to announce our exciting new venture - the 2011 Brisbane Fitness and Health Expo. To be staged at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre on October 15-16, the Expo will be a welcome addition to the Brisbane Expo and fitness scene, while filling a gaping hole in the market.
 
Through our exhibitors we’ll present a range of innovative health and fitness products and concepts in a positive, entertaining environment. The expo will present solutions to the health and fitness issues we all face.

Major League recently visited Beenleigh State High School to chat with Queensland and Australian Rugby League legend Steve Price about the work he has been doing with the Former Origin Greats ARTIE Indigenous Schools Program.

We also caught up with Minister Peter Garrett who was at the school to see the great results being acheived.

When looking at big companies with big budgets marketing seems quite a simple task. 

However for a small business with a limited budget creating a practical marketing plan can seem like a daunting task. 

At Major League one of the most asked questions we are hear is “How can we make marketing work for our small business?” 

So we asked Jason and came up with this short video.

Major League is on a mission to get more kids active and enjoying the social and physical benefits of playing team sports.

In conjunction with long-term clients Softball Queensland and Hockey Queensland, Major League came up with the idea to hold "Have A Go! Fun Days" in Queensland communities.

"Have A Go! Fun Days" are enjoyable community events that provide an obligation-free opportunity for children of all ages to try playing various sports. Families are encouraged to participate in fun sporting games and enjoy free face painting, a sausage sizzle and a jumping castle.

If visitors enjoy any of the sports being demonstrated on the day, they are invited to sign up to join short participation programs without having to make a large investment or commitment to an entire sporting season.

These events attract up to 600 participants, with many kids signing up to participate in the upcoming 'Hook in2 Hockey' or 'Simple Softball' programs.

Major League is working with committed supporter Quest Community Newspapers to develop a further four events to be held in other newspaper distribution areas in the coming months.

An incredible 6,000 Indigenous job seekers have attended the first four 2009 Former Origin Greats Indigenous Employment and Careers Expos held in Townsville, Rockhampton, Cairns and Mackay. With over 100 exhibitors involved in the expos, the momentum is set to build as the event moves to Mount Isa and Brisbane.

Indigenous job seekers and school leavers have enjoyed the opportunity to rub shoulders with some Rugby League royalty including Queensland 'Team of the Century' members Arthur Beetson, Allan Langer, Mal Meninga and Gene Miles.

Fellow Origin legends to appear at the expos have included Sam Backo, Kerry Boustead, Chris Close, Greg Conescu, Greg Dowling, Mick Hancock, Alan McIndoe, Matt Sing and Wendell Sailor.

Major League have proudly supplied event management services for the six expos including exhibitor recruitment, event promotion and media PR management.

The most recent expo, staged in Mackay last week, featured an appearance by home grown hero Wendell Sailor (pictured). Sailor spent the day talking with Indigenous job seekers and encouraging them embrace the future through the 33 employers and training providers present on the day.

A Mackay sporting hero, Sailor first played for the Sarina Football Club as an eight-year-old and made his first grade debut as an eighteen-year-old for the Brisbane Broncos. Sailor has played five State of Origin series, 191 first grade rugby league games and 40 first grade rugby union games.

Sailor enjoyed the opportunity to talk one-on-one with students about overcoming challenges and embracing the future.

"Being part of the FOGS is about putting the community back into the game," Sailor said.

"I have had a colourful life, which has been full of good things and some bad things.

"For me, you don't just talk about the good things - kids are very honest and some will ask a lot about my suspension.

"I tell them that the future all comes back to your accountability and what you want to do with your life," he said.

The appearance by Sailor enabled Major League to secure blanket media coverage prior to the event including front page coverage in Mackay's main newspaper the Daily Mercury.
