Baseball season in Chicago is in full swing, and there are few things better than getting to catch a game with our friends at The New York Times. While this one may have been a loss for the Cubs, developing strong partnerships, custom content, and benchmark-beating results for clients like Service Corporation International is always a win.
Play ball! We're excited to kick off the 2024 season partnership with the Minnesota Twins and Securian Financial. We loved getting to spend time with our client on opening day and seeing their fantastic outfield signage and suite near home plate in person.
We love arranging big national sponsorship activations for our clients, but don't forget about the power of hyper-local love! Last week's Whataburger activation at a Westlake High School baseball game was the perfect example: an opportunity to connect with families and kids of all ages while spreading the news about the new Whataburger Digital Kitchen and handing out freebies like glasses, koozies, key chains, and coupons. This activation was a huge success with attendees and captured lots of smiling faces at the game. As a cherry on top, the Westlake Nation won their game 7-2. Go Chaps!

During their visit, we walked through examples of an advertising framework, shared our KSM ethos and approach to media, and engaged in enriching discussions with staff and students. We can't wait to welcome them back for more insightful exchanges and future collaborations!
