URL to IRL: How Football is Bringing Digital Marketing to Life
In the last 5 years, stadiums have begun to embrace new technologies that allow for far more effective marketing and ads. Virtual Replacement Technology (VRT) allows pitch side ads to be digitally augmented, in real time, to display regionally relevant ads to viewers in other countries or locales. Fans at the Stadium in Rome will see ads tailored for the Italian market, whereas viewers at home in the U.K. will see ads relevant to them.
This innovation is huge for the marketing industry in relation to advertising on televised events. A method which for years has failed to compete with the efficiency of digital marketing technologies.
