2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil – Activity and Review at Walkabout Bars

2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil – Activity and Review at Walkabout Bars

Now that Brazil 2014 has drawn to a close, we're left to review its success for our clients and Walkabout in particular, where we implemented an unprecedented level of activity for a UK bar group.   Screach TV Prior to the World Cup, we helped install Screach TV into the majority of Walkabout venues and then worked on the content that would shape our World Cup experience. Here's an example of some of the team content that we produced for customers to view prior to the match. We produced team profiles, player profiles, match promo clips and squad lists for each of the 32 nations and scheduled it accordingly for each of the 64 matches!       Partnerships We secured a commercial partnership with Kitbag (market leading official sportswear provider) in addition to our existing deal with BetVernons.  Kitbag suitably provided us with the kit for our staff to wear during the matches.

Betting Partnership

Betting Partnership

To get a partner on board can make a lot of sense if you have similar synergies and the fit is a good one.  This is why the partnership arranged between Walkabout and Blue Square is a match made in heaven (pardon the pun!).  Walkabout in exchange for funding ensure that the Blue Square branding appears on all printed material, coverage on the website and social media as well as in venue on the screens. They are the official partner and get a tangible awareness for their investment. In addition to the above a highly successful sampling activity has taken place in key venues at key times that has added value to the customer experience (some even asked for their picture to be taken with the Blue Square girls!) As a leader in sport this provides relevant content with a great fit i.e. Champions league tonight action tonight at Walkabout - Manchester United v Real Madrid with Ronaldo to score first at...
