Put yourself in the position of a marketing representative for the Barclays Center. One of your roles is to find clients to advertise in the arena. Think of all the brands that you know and select a brand that you think would want to reach the fans of a team that plays in the Barclays Center.
Create a poster with images and text for the activation you conceptualize. Write a pitch that describes your marketing strategy, and find images representing the theme of the idea. Try to find images that depict the look and feel of the activation you are pitching, and if you can’t find any, try making your own. Describe the technology that will be used and be sure to specify how you will measure the success of the activation (ie. ticket scans, ad impressions, website views, emails gathered, social shares, the number of mobile phones that scan a code, or even connections to RFID beacons). Summarize your ideas and make it look super compelling and visual to impress your client.
