Event
Hong Kong Disneyland Resort hosted a media event to launch its year-long fifth anniversary celebrations. Over the course of three days, from January 21, more than 800 journalists from 10 countries and regions were entertained. About 200 trade and industry partners, and 100 dignitaries and guests were also invited.
Objectives
The event's two primary goals were to reinforce the Disney brand and to help the media showcase to their readers and viewers all the enhancements that have come to Hong Kong Disneyland as part of the year-long 'Celebration in the Air'.
Measures
Rather than simply tell the media about all that the celebration entails, the resort got them involved in the experience. Complementing formal presentations and business updates were special premieres, entertainment and a gala evening. It also used every opportunity to surprise and delight its guests. Every aspect of the event was rehearsed.
