CHALLENGE

Our collaboration with Sports Business Journal (SBJ) posed a significant challenge in meeting their marketing material demands for their nationwide tradeshows. The 2023 SBJ x CAA World Congress of Sports in Los Angeles presented a unique set of requirements, including pop-up banners, seg cubes, step and repeats, and custom booth fabrication. SBJ needed these materials not only to brand the JW Marriott for the event but also to ensure they could be used for future trade shows.
Moreover, the event's prestigious status meant that we had to deliver materials that would effectively immerse over 800 attendees, including top sports industry executives, in the largest sports business conference in North America. This required a creative and logistical solution to meet SBJ's specific needs.

CHALLENGES

  • Relatively low budget for design, implementation and marketing
  • 8-week time constraint for the whole project
  • Website must match existing digital corporate identity
  • Website should be deeply integrated into the HubSpot solution
  • Design & development from scratch is not feasible
  • Customer would like to be able to edit content and structure
  • Website must be implemented in three languages
  • Webdesign must match modern design standards

SOLUTION

As the official signage partner for SBJ, our team rose to the challenge by combining our creative and fabrication expertise. We began by designing a custom A3 Visual booth that not only met the requirements of the 2023 SBJ x CAA World Congress of Sports but could also be versatile for future trade shows.
Our creative team worked closely with SBJ to ensure that the branding elements, including pop-up banners, seg cubes, and step and repeats, were not only visually appealing but also aligned with the event's prestige. Our fabrication team executed the booth construction to perfection, ensuring it could be easily transported and assembled, making it an ideal solution for multiple events.
