Social Media Playbook: Activating Fans on Gameday
Consumer expectations and behaviors at events have changed dramatically in the past five years and sporting events are no exception. Wi-fi is now a requirement, fans check-in and order food with apps, and Instagram photos and selfies are the new proof that you attended a game. This change in behavior is both a blessing and curse for sports marketers trying to design the best in-game experience for multiple fan personas. For many sports teams, it’s a difficult balancing act of preserving traditions and the classic sports viewing experience with the new expectations of millennials and their socially tech-savvy fans. This panel will feature the new generation of sports marketers that are pushing the envelope when it comes to social and will share their experiences and strategies in being progressive yet still marketing to all their fan personas.
