"Festivals promote diversity,
they bring neighbors into dialogue,
they increase creativity,
they offer opportunities for civic pride,
they improve our general psychological well-being.
In short, they make cities better places to live.”

THE LOCATION
Rural cities around the country possess an unique heart + soul, but ultimately lack
diversity & direct access to technological innovation and impactful lifestyle brands.
In turn, this affects cities' earning and growth potentials. SOMEWHERE Fest seeks
to highlight and empower these areas by transforming one underserved location
into an unforgettable experience. This weekend will host a series of “firsts” for
Athens, TN
attendees: first live concert, first virtual reality interaction, first ride-sharing
experience, etc.
THE FRIENDLY CITY

Stationed right between Chattanooga and Knoxville is Athens, TN —
“the friendly city” that historically welcomes its visitors with open
arms & has over 1.2 million people within it’s 50-mile radius.
In 2017, Athens was named one of the prime regions in the world
to witness the Great American Eclipse in totality, resulting in tens of
thousands of visitors from all over traveling to the city. Tennessee as
a whole saw over 1.4 million visitors in one weekend, drastically
boosting the economies of surrounding rural areas. SOMEWHERE
Fest is proud to share it's inaugural "stage" with Athens, further
building economies & empowering cities like Athens to be premier
budding grounds for businesses + families in the country to put roots
down and grow. The hosting area, Athens Regional Park, is a lush
165-acre park right off the main interstate in Southeast TN.

SOMEWHERE’S FOUNDER
Michael Watson II is an award-winning Creative Director that has crafted cohesive
experiences for global brands for over 9 years. His production company, HUE
Unlimited, has developed its own signature market in the entertainment + media
industries, by merging creative strategy, design, digital marketing, tech development,
and content curation — all into a southern gumbo for success. Michael has
collaborated & contributed creatively for artists such as Anderson .Paak, H.E.R.,
Machine Gun Kelly, Beyonce, & Jeremih, in addition to numerous top global brands.
Other neighboring-Athens natives include Usher, Quentin Tarantino, Samuel L.

Jackson, Dolly Parton, and Isaiah Rashad — all of which tapped into greater
opportunities by venturing out of the rural area. SOMEWHERE seeks to generate
more resources locally for areas like these that deserve the same access.
/ 05
THE TARGET MARKET
SOMEWHERE Fest will attract music lovers in the state of
Tennessee and all of its regional neighboring states. Today’s
festivals target affluent, major city residents between the ages
18-35. 80% of these millennials note that live music events are
the best way to connect with them. SOMEWHERE Fest will break
down social barriers by targeting both metropolitan Millennials
and localized Millennials, as well as Post-Millennials and their
predecessors, Generation X.
Targeted regions include, but are not limited to:
• Tennessee
• Georgia
• Alabama
• North Carolina
• Kentucky
• Mississippi

YOUR SPONSORSHIP
SOMEWHERE Fest’s seeks to provide opportunities for rural
communities through alignment with international brands. For the
inaugural event, SOMEWHERE will partner with a special 501(c)3
non-profit organization to help benefit underserved communities
through the arts.
The opportunity for sponsorship extends to any company or

organization that seeks to engage with overlooked audiences, as
well as activate universal millennial consumer habits. Regardless of
the objective—brand awareness, community involvement,
inclusion, or sales—SOMEWHERE will develop a tailored
sponsorship that will position your brand as an undeniable leader
of the future & trendsetter for all demographics.

look forward to developing an experience specific to your
