One Ad Board, Multiple Revenue Streams: The Magic Behind the Overlay Imagine a stadium buzzing with energy, fans cheering, and the action unfolding on the field. Traditionally, the sidelines and perimeter have been prime real estate for advertisers, displaying their messages to the captivated audience. But what if one physical ad board could cater to multiple audiences simultaneously? This is the magic behind virtual advertising technology. The Overlay Advantage: Virtual advertising utilizes software and cameras to create a digital overlay on these physical boards. This allows broadcasters to display different advertisements on the screen, depending on the region or channel the broadcast is being aired on. So, while a spectator in India sees an ad for a local sports apparel brand, a fan in France might be viewing an entirely different commercial targeted to their market. Benefits for All: 🎥 Broadcasters: Tailoring ad placements to specific audiences through virtual advertising allows broadcasters to potentially generate more revenue from targeted advertising deals. 🏟 Stadiums: This technology offers stadiums the flexibility to secure sponsorships from a wider range of companies, reaching new markets and maximizing advertising income. 👨👩👧👦 Viewers: Ideally, virtual advertising seamlessly blends into the broadcast, delivering a more aesthetically pleasing viewing experience without distracting pop-up ads. Beyond Borders: Virtual advertising transcends geographical limitations. A stadium in Europe might have physical boards displaying local brands, but viewers in Asia watching the same game on TV could see advertisements from companies relevant to their region. This allows companies to target specific markets without needing a physical presence in the stadium itself. Not Without Its Considerations: While virtual advertising offers advantages, it's not without its considerations: ❗ Ethical Concerns: Some argue that altering the actual stadium environment for TV viewers can be perceived as deceptive. ❗❗ Potential for Glitches: Technical glitches or disruptions can cause the virtual overlay to malfunction, creating an unpleasant viewing experience. The Future is Bright: Despite these considerations, virtual advertising is a rapidly evolving technology with the potential to revolutionize the way stadiums and broadcasters generate revenue. As the technology matures and regulations are established, we can expect to see even more sophisticated applications of virtual advertising in the future.

Harnessing the Power of Sports for Impactful Advertising Sports hold a powerful place in the global landscape, captivating audiences from every corner of the world. With their growing international appeal, sports events have become prime opportunities for impactful advertising. Thanks to digital content, fans can follow the action live from anywhere, making these moments even more valuable for brands. As the array of sports continues to expand, certain events stand out not just for their history or excitement, but also for their unparalleled advertising potential. These high-profile events draw millions and sometimes billions of viewers, creating a massive platform for brands to engage with a global audience. For example, the FIFA World Cup 2022 drew over 3.5 billion viewers, and the Tokyo 2020 Olympics were watched by more than 3 billion people. Such events represent a goldmine for advertisers looking to reach a vast and diverse audience. The Olympic Games bring together top athletes from around the world, while the FIFA World Cup Final, held every four years, creates immense global buzz. The Super Bowl, known for its unique spectacle, attracts even those unfamiliar with American football, and the Tour de France combines elite cycling with stunning landscapes, captivating viewers everywhere. At Newcom Horizons, we harness the power of these remarkable sports events to connect brands with an engaged global audience. By leveraging these high-impact moments, we help advertisers make a significant mark and reach their target consumers. Join us in seizing these exciting opportunities and making your brand part of the global sports conversation! 🌍 #SportsMarketing #GlobalEvents #NewcomHorizons

The latest release of Decoding 360, the fan receptivity & profiling platform we've built at dentsu Sports Analytics with MKTG, is now live. New features, fresh data across 11 global markets, and unique insights into how fans connect with brands through sport & entertainment. We've built Decoding 360 to be different from other fan research in the market. As an industry, we need to move beyond just using passion as the primary attribute for sponsorship strategy for brands. At its core, Decoding 360 is about the intersection between fan passion and the commercial objectives of sponsors. As we keep saying, not all fans are created equal, and knowing how different fans interact with sponsorship and advertising in the sports & entertainment context - whether it's at the stadium, at home watching on TV, or on digital and social channels - is critical to achieving bottom-line business impact from sponsorship activity. We fused this insight around Fan Receptivity to the rich consumer and media data of dentsu, making Decoding 360 a uniquely powerful tool for understanding fans, targeting specific audiences, and optimising sponsorship.
