When it comes to stadium branding and fan engagement, Europe and North America have different styles. In Europe, fan experiences tend to be low-key, focusing on the sport itself as the star of the show. In contrast, the North American fan experience is designed to be a spectacle, integrating entertainment, technology and commercial partnerships to create memorable events. Have you had the pleasure of attending sporting events on both continents? What has been your most memorable experience? Stay tuned to find out how we can enhance these experiences, combining global knowledge with local expertise. . . . #weareback #VisualEngagement #Decentralizedproduction #Sportsbranding #Sustainablebranding #TheLookCompany #Fanexperiences #Events #Visualbranding #Sportsevents #Eventdesign #TheLookCompanyEurope #Stadiumbranding

H…love it. We can see those clubs who are creating events, driving events and then posting how successful their events were. Our system on its own is NOT the answer, but it’s a huge component part of the solution in modernising your communication’s for clubs who are keen to evolve their business and engage with members and guests. Fact: the majority of members don’t open emails, the majority of members don’t see your social posts and the majority of members don’t search your website to find daily information. The answer sits in a multi channel approach, where consistency sits at the heart of what you do. Our platform is your “on site” communications solution that compliments your direct and indirect E comms. ⛳️♥️⛳️

Disaster and Chaos at the Miami Hard Rock Stadium I am not here to blame one side or the other, but rather to bring attention to the importance of crowd engineering for event planning. This is one type of engineering I would not usually think about, but when situations like what happened at the Miami Hard Rock Stadium occur, its importance becomes apparent. - 60,000 fans were expected to attend the match. - Some fans gained entry to the stadium without tickets. - To counteract this, stadium gates were closed. - The game was delayed by more than 75 minutes. - Thousands of ticket holders were pushed against the gates, awaiting entry. - Stadium gates had to be reopened, welcoming even those without tickets. - Once maximum occupancy was reached, the gates were closed again. - Thousands of ticket holders were left outside of the stadium. While it is understandable that the chaos was not solely due to poor planning but also due to some wrongful behavior by the fans, some questions arise: - What steps should have been taken to prevent this? - What should have been the best response? - Is the country's infrastructure ready for more events of this caliber? How can we prepare better for future events? What happened at the Copa America final between Colombia and Argentina is only a foreshadowing of what we can expect at the 2026 World Cup if the appropriate measures are not taken. #CopaAmerica #Miami #Florida #Soccer #HardRockStadium #EventEngineering #CrowdEngineering #Engineering #Sports #Colombia #Argentina
