Metro News: Do214 Takes Home the Golden Wombat, Do206’s Big Giveaway, and Do617 Hits a Milestone

Our regular Metro News updates highlight big wins, cool ideas, and notable events from around the Network so you can stay up to date on what your counterparts around the U.S., Canada, and Mexico are doing.

A prestigious new trophy has been debuted, a festival giveaway turned into a big win, and a metro hits some big milestones. Check out below for news from around the Network, plus helpful sales collateral, and upcoming birthdays.

Do214 Awarded the Golden Wombat

An iconic new football trophy debuted in 2015. No, not this one. THIS one…

Our own Jordan Ripley has volunteered to hand deliver the trophy every year on his own dime. Thanks Jordan!

Do214 is now the proud holders of the brand new “Golden Wombat” trophy. Since their “Mortal Wombats” were the winning team in this year’s DoStuff Fantasy Football league, we thought it was only fair to name the trophy after the inaugural winners.

The Golden Wombat will stay in Dallas until January 2016 when a new Fantasy Football winner is crowned, along with $350 towards metro swag!

Do206’s Sasquatch Giveaway Goes BIG

After Sasquatch announced their 2015 lineup earlier in the month, Do206 launched a pre-onsale giveaway for a pair of passes. While tickets officially went on sale on Saturday the 7th, Do206 gave away two of their passes on Friday night.

That meant that the most diehard festival goers -- who would probably go to Sasquatch no matter what -- could find out if they were going for free before they bought tickets.


This giveaway strategy scored Do206 over 2,800 entries in less than three days! While usually we recommend giving away tickets right before the show, this method unfortunately excludes the most diehard fans who have already bought tickets.

Do206’s pre-onsale strategy shows that if you have multiple pairs of passes to give away, giving serious concert goers a chance to win some before they buy can lead to the highest levels of engagement.

Other News

Here's a quick rundown of other big happenings around the Network:

  • Do502’s New Ad Deck: Do502 put together a spiffy new ad deck explaining all the various advertising opportunities on their site. If you want access to the design files, hit us up!
  • Do512 Lounge Proposal: Do512 is in the midst of negotiating their Lounge sponsorship for 2015. If you’re thinking about starting a regular event series and want to know how they present the opportunity to partners, take a look at their proposal deck.
  • Do512 Testimonials Page: Speaking of, have you ever seen Do512’s Testimonials page on their site? Collecting blurbs from trusted partners is a great tool for helping along the local sales process.
  • Do502’s FREE WEEK in the News: Do502’s first annual Louisville FREE WEEK was a big hit. Check out some of the publicity they got from the local NBC affiliate.
  • HazDF Turns One: They grow up so fast! HazDF turned one on Feb. 19th. HazDF blazed a lot of trails in its first year -- DoStuff’s first metro outside the U.S. and our first spanish-speaking metro. We can’t wait to see what’s in store for year two! ¡Feliz cumpleaños!
