Cirque Du Soleil - TOTEM
Montreal-based, Cirque Du Soleil, enlisted the help of the Bill Kaelin Marketing with marketing consulting for its nationwide tour, TOTEM, during its three-month stop in Atlanta. Realizing that TOTEM needed strong support from the LGBT community as audience members to create successful shows throughout its tour, a partnership was built with the local LGBT community to help boost ticket sales.
Working alongside internal and external PR firms, the BKM team seamlessly integrated marketing concepts through a promotions campaign designed to target this specific market through media outreach, online support, and key events within the community.​
