Margate’s Big Event a big success
Margate's Big Event drew record crowds over
the weekend, marking another successful collaboration between
Thanet District Council and KM Group.
Over 90,000 people flocked to
Kent’s leading air and land festival, which took place in Palm
Bay on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 June.
As official media partner, KM Group’s coverage
of the event was extensive, including editorial and
advertising support in the
freely circulated Thanet Extra, the countywide What’s On
supplement, on the
Thanet Extra website and on kmfm for Thanet.
There were exclusive news stories, interviews
and previews ahead of the big weekend and KM Group photographer
Paul Dennis was there to capture all the action for this
week’s newspaper, now available to view online at www.thanetepaper.co.uk
Media Sales Manager Steph Thompson says “KM
Group have been media partner for the Big Event for three
years and we were very
excited to learn this year’s was the biggest and best so
far."
The free event featured appearances by
the famous Red Arrows, the RAF’s latest Eurofighter Typhoon jet and
a Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, while on the ground
circus teams, jugglers, acrobats and human statues and more
kept visitors amused.
KM Group and
Thanet District Council’s are
currently continuing an important
domestic abuse campaign and working toward the inaugural
Thanet Sports Awards, due to take place at the Winter Gardens
Margate on Wednesday 11 November.
Steph
adds, “Thanet District Council have taken full
advantage of our multimedia platforms (radio, press and
online) across East Kent”
