University of Georgia's Gamma Chapter created a marketing program for the university's student-run rodeo, the Great Southland Stampede Rodeo. Founded in 1970 and certified as a professional rodeo in 1974, the rodeo suffered from a dire lack of attendance and was facing a shutdown. PSE's Gamma Chapter organized a team that identified the shortfalls in the rodeo's marketing program and created, planned and implemented a plan to boost awareness. The plan included a mix of radio advertising, social media, flyers and other creative efforts to reach out to both the university and the surrounding Athens, Georgia community.
"In 2011, the year prior to contacting us, the rodeo made a profit of $2,000," said Allie Merdinger, a member of the Gamma Chapter and advertising chair for the rodeo. "We increased their 2012 profits to more than $34,000."
