    Nike Goes Outdoor to Promote New Harajuku Store

    Are you looking for new ways to celebrate a store/stadium grand opening? Are you looking for ways to drive awareness in the local community?

    To celebrate the grand opening of its new store in Harajuku, Japan, Nike created a really fascinating mural display using a collection of pictures. Each night, a team of workers changed the images to drive awareness for the breadth of Nike's offerings and involvement in sports and entertainment. CoolHunting also recently did a feature on the store's unique shoe chandelier, shoe sole tiles, and spinning race numbers that hang from the ceiling (definitely worth checking out the link) 

    Check out the way Nike executed the out-of-home campaign to support the store grand opening:

    Looking to Sell More Pizza at Your Venue?

    Are you looking for new ways to leverage a corporate pizza partner? Are you searching for ways to drive concessions sales at your venue?

    Donato's recently teamed up with Columbus-based Engauge and Clear Channel Outdoor to create a compelling outdoor billboard campaign in an effort to promote the chain's new hand-tossed pie. The pizza chain created a gigantic pizza billboard in downtown Columbus that created an illusion that steam was rising from the pizza (due to it being so hot and fresh).

    How did they do it?

    According to MediaLife Magazine, Clear Channel Outdoor and an independent contractor installed ducts in the billboard to emit steam. Afterwards, the parties positioned the giant pizza at a certain height on the billboard to create an illusion that the steam was rising from the pizza. The billboard released steam every minute during peak commuter hours in downtown Columbus.

    Check out the creative billboard below. This would serve as an effective way for sports organizations to bring their pizza partners' static signage to life in-venue!

    Use Billboards to Capitalize on Team Affinity...

    Are you looking for new ways to capitalize on team affiliation? Are you looking for creative tactics to promote a partnership in the local marketplace?

    Brand managers looking to capitalize on team affinity should consider modeling the Dunkin' Donuts guerrilla billboard strategy detailed below. With more sports organizations turning to outdoor media to promote ticket sales, community initiatives, and re-branding initiatives, sponsors have a unique opportunity to drive affiliation awareness by leveraging neighboring billboards.

    By simply using an arrow technique (as pictured below), sponsors and ambush marketers can imply association with sports organizations through outdoor billboards. The trouble is often the planning ahead of time (knowing where and when the team's billboards will go up) but most uncertainty can be limited by analyzing historical placement.

    Sponsors can drive home team affiliation using a variety of messaging campaigns:

    • Great Teams (arrow pointing to team logo) Drink Great Beverages (arrow pointing to sponsor logo)
    • Go Big (arrow point to team sponsor logo) or Go Home (pointing to a competitor's logo who was recently eliminated from the playoffs)
    • The "Heavenly" Association
    • Great Team (arrow pointing to team logo), Great Beer
    • Fast Teams (arrow pointing to team logo) Drive Fast Cars (arrow pointing to sponsor logo)
