Cincinnati receives ECHL Marketing Award of Excellence

Monday, June 27th

The ECHL announced on Monday that the Cincinnati Cyclones are the 2015-16 recipient of the ECHL Award of Excellence for Marketing. 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. The other finalists were the Florida Everblades, Manchester Monarchs, Missouri Mavericks and Toledo Walleye. During the 2015-16 season, the Cyclones continued their successful “More Than Just A Game” marketing campaign to reinforce the message that the family fun of a Cyclones’ game is more than just what happens on the ice. The team also employed an aggressive mix of digital, television and grassroots marketing to extend and expand the brand’s reach into new homes in and around Cincinnati. The introduction of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Night to the team’s promotional schedule had the widest impact during the 2015-16 season. The event resulted in the first-ever sellout crowd in team history with 16,529 fans in attendance, the second-largest crowd in the 28-year history of the ECHL. ECHL Marketing Award Of Excellence
