Electric Castle is the first Romanian festival which moved electronic music and live concerts to the open-air premises of a castle. Ever since its first edition it has been nominated at the European Festival Awards for the „Best medium sized music festival in Romania”. The festival's last day is on a Sunday, and historically there are less people attending on sunday.
Electric Castle Unofficial Partners - The first platform where companies could donate the Monday after in exchange for becoming unofficial sponsors of the festival.
We challenged companies all over Romania to become the UNOFFICIAL PARTNERS OF THE FESTIVAL AND OFFER THEIR EMPLOYEES THE MONDAY OFF in exchange for the respect and eternal appreciation of their employees and a promotion packaged offered by the festival. We created a guerrilla campaign targeting top managers in order to convince them to join the #electricmonday movement, as we called it. While many of us know are familiar with the concept of sponsors - brands partner with great events for considerable amounts of money, we offered those companies who gave their employees Monday off the title of Unofficial Partner. We asked them to be the Unofficial Partners of Electric Castle, and the official partner of fun, rock&roll and their employees
