Action Requested: City Council approval of an expenditure for digital media services with Belo+Company for an amount not to exceed $67,000. Background Information: The purpose of this item is to gain authorization from the City Council to expend up to $67,000 with Belo+Company for FY 2021. Although the spend with Belo+Company for digital media services related to the Champions Club membership push will be $17,000, the total spend by all City departments with Belo+Company for FY 2021 will exceed $50,000, thus requiring authorization by the City Council. City currently contracts with Belo+Company to provide digital advertising management and related creative services for our tourism marketing efforts. The purpose of this item is to expand this service, to cover marketing expenses related to a summer campaign to increase membership sales for Champions Club at The Marq Southlake. Under this expanded service, Belo would create and implement a digital and print media campaign geared towards increasing the overall membership units at Champions Club by approximately 200 units. This marketing push is necessary to begin recovering from the overall impact that the COVID - 19 Pandemic has had on the total number of membership units at Champions Club. Additionally, this digital campaign will place extra emphasis on targeting families to increase enrollment in family membership types at Champions Club. This membership type is the greatest revenue driver for Champions Club and is currently sitting 14% under budget of total units YTD. 4B-1 Shana K.
