We collaborated with Red Bull on a highly effective activation at Wilderness Festival in Oxfordshire. The Red Bull Lab Bar featured live music and bars, but the highlight of the activation was a series of daily cocktail masterclasses for the festival attendees. These sessions were incredibly popular, fully booking within hours for the entire duration of the festival. The success of this activation lay in its ability to create meaningful connections with Red Bull's target audience. It offered the brand an extended opportunity to build a rapport with consumers in an engaging and memorable way. In today's market, people crave experiences above all else. As a brand, it's crucial to establish how you will connect with your audience through events and activations. It's no longer just about the size of the budget or the scale of the activation; it's about the quality of the experience you provide. A great example of this was a recent activation by Botivo Drinks. The Botivo Sampling piano is a pop up piano with a pianist on one side and a mini sampling activation on the other - all in the footprint of a small stand up piano. Not big budget but BIG impact. Having worked on hundreds of events and activations, we can confidently say that the most effective ones are those that offer consumers a genuine experience and evoke real emotions. Even something as simple as a cocktail masterclass can achieve this, demonstrating that thoughtful, well-executed experiences resonate most deeply with audiences. #brandactivation #events #drinksindustry #drinksmarketing

Fans' behaviour is evolving, creating exciting opportunities for venues! Our research shows 87% of attendees post on social media during events, and 81% would spend more on food and drinks with convenient ordering. Meeting these expectations goes beyond just a great experience. By enabling seamless social sharing, venues turn their fans into walking advertisements, amplifying brand awareness beyond the stadium walls. At the same time, convenient mobile ordering options lead to happy fans spending more on food and drinks, boosting the bottom line. These are just some of the insights that show how world-class connectivity empowers venues to deliver unmatched visitor experiences, whilst unlocking new revenue streams and improving operational efficiency. Connectivity is changing the game for sports and entertainment venues. Our commercial director for venues, Gavin O'Meara is presenting at the Stadium Business Summit next week, sharing more insights into how connectivity needs to be in every owner and operator’s playbook.

Reflecting on the staggering ticket prices from this weekend's Super Bowl event left me in a whirlwind of thoughts. The big numbers highlight how fan experiences and accessibility in the sports industry are evolving. I'm intrigued to get your thoughts on the topic. Here are mine: 🎟️Innovating Fan Experiences: The Miami Marlins & TicketRev Partnership We're witnessing a pivotal transformation in how ticket pricing mechanisms are evolving. The recent partnership between the Miami Marlins and TicketRev marks a groundbreaking move towards empowering fans. By allowing them to "make their pitch" on ticket prices, this initiative not only democratizes access but also injects a fresh perspective into the fan experience. 🎟️ Super Bowl Ticket Pricing: A Glimpse into the Future Contrastingly, the astronomical ticket prices for the Super Bowl underscore a growing concern in the sports world. With costs reaching unprecedented heights, over $3,000 more expensive than the previous year, it prompts us to question the sustainability and accessibility of live sports events. This year, Super Bowl tickets hit record-breaking prices, highlighting a stark disparity in fan access to premier sports events. 🎟️ Navigating the Future of Sports Ticketing These contrasting scenarios open a broader dialogue on the future of ticket pricing. How do we balance innovation, like that of the Marlins and TicketRev, with the exclusivity seen at events like the Super Bowl? The key lies in leveraging technology and data-driven insights to enhance fan engagement while ensuring sports remain accessible to a wider audience. As we move forward, it's imperative for teams, leagues, and industry stakeholders to collaboratively explore innovative ticketing solutions that prioritize fan experiences and accessibility. The Marlins and TicketRev partnership could very well be the beacon leading this charge. In 2024, the imperative has shifted; we must meet fans on their terms, marking a significant departure from business-centric models of the past. #superbowl #sportsmarketing #ticketsales Miami Marlins and loanDepot park
