You just can?t say that about other in-venue media.?

The branded trays feature alignment, brake and muffler coupons as well as a Western New York map to Cole Muffler locations to gain cross-sale opportunities and drive foot traffic to centers from NFL fans.

BRANDedTRAY, JAGTAG and History Blur the Line Between Sports Marketing and Interactive

Greenwich, CT (PRWEB) November 13, 2010

One of the UK?s most popular TV series since 1977, "Top Gear", is coming to the History channel. In advance of the Sunday, November 21 premier, History will be sponsoring NASCAR with BRANDedTRAY?s sponsored, in-venue concession trays. The full-color trays will feature JAGTAG?s ultra-versatile 2D barcode system to deliver a multimedia sneak peek at the new series to race fans.

The move further enforces the changing rules of sports sponsorship. Traditional sponsorship opportunities are now being supported by pioneering opportunities that deliver tangible, trackable results to advertisers while positively impacting fan experience.

According to a sports marketing research study published last month by Sponsorship Research International (SRi), BRANDedTRAY demonstrated a more than 15% greater net awareness than signage and almost 40% greater awareness than in-venue promotions. Additionally, 46% of attendees correctly linked the tray sponsor to the BRANDedTRAYs (unaided) and 60% of fans agreed the trays added real value to their experience.

?We?re always thinking about how to offer fans a brand experience and sponsors audience activation,? explains BRANDedTRAY Senior Vice President, Tom Flynn. ?More than 80% of fans recall our trays and the messages on them. You can?t say that about any other in-venue media on the market today.?

The BRANDedTRAYs will be featured the weekend of November 14 at the Kobalt Tools 500, Phoenix International Raceway and November 21 at the Ford 400, Homestead-Miami Speedway races. ?Top Gear? will be premiering the same November 21 weekend on History at 10/9c.

Lil' Teammates Fill Toy Void for Young Sports Fans

Avon, OH (PRWEB) February 1, 2011

Millions of sports fans across the country can?t wait for the day when they can share their enthusiasm with their young son or daughter. For many, Party Animal Toys has brought that day closer with their line of collectible sports toys. Lil? Teammates are 3-inch vinyl figures available in various positions for the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL and over 50 colleges. Their small size and slightly exaggerated features, which manage to come across as both tough and cute at the same time, help attract their target market, namely 4 to 11 year olds.

?We?ve been making licensed sports products for over 20 years,? says Jim Cantrall, president and owner of The Party Animal, Inc., ?but one day I realized there just isn?t much out there for little kids, especially when it comes to sports fan toys or action figures.? That void led to the company?s creation of Lil? Teammates, which debuted in February of 2010 to critical and commercial success.

?We ended up selling almost 40% over our initial sales forecast for last year,? says Cantrall. ?That often left us scrambling to keep up with demand.? The company quickly found that it wasn?t only kids the Lil? Teammates appealed to. ?During the Christmas season we heard from a lot of moms who told us these made perfect stocking stuffers, and dads love their team authenticity and detail.? In a short time, the Lil' Teammates toy line has become a winner with sports fans of all ages. ?The figures and concepts are right on,? says Tony Lott, a 51-year-old collector. ?(Party Animal Toys) has hit on a quality figurine with great detail that most companies have failed. They?re the perfect size!?

Even though their appeal stretches beyond their target market, Lil? Teammates stand alone as sports toys geared toward the kindergarten set. While there are a few examples of collectible sports figures, such as McFarlane?s Sports Picks, none attract the attention of younger children the way Lil? Teammates do. ?It?s great if some people just like collecting them,? says Cantrall. ?But what makes these toys unique as sports collectibles is their playability. These are durable figures with moveable parts that are meant to be knocked around and played with. That?s what kids love about them. They don?t have to be just stuck on a shelf.?

Series 1 of the toy line, currently available nationwide in team shops, retail stores and online, is comprised of seven different figure molds, including a quarterback, baseball pitcher and hockey goalie. With all the different teams available, the series actually totals over 200 figures in all, but it doesn?t end there. Along with the recently-introduced Lil? Teammates Throwbacks, and a limited edition figure called ?The Ref,? the toy line will further expand this spring with the release of its second series.

Lil? Teammates Series 2 will feature several new figures including a football lineman, baseball catcher, and basketball defender. Each figure will also feature more articulation to enhance their posing ability and playability. In conjunction with the toys, http://www.lilteammates.com was created as a place where kids and fans can go to register their figures, play games, win free prizes and learn more about their favorite teams. Visit that site for more information on Lil' Teammates.

ABOUT THE PARTY ANIMAL

The Party Animal,Inc., of Avon, OH, is a leading manufacturer of quality flags, banners, collectible toys and other fan product for the National Football League, Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association, the National Hockey League and over 70 colleges and universities.

SportsPicker Delivers the Most Innovative Non-Wager Sports Competition App for Facebook

Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) October 12, 2011

OHK Labs announces the release of SportsPicker today, a whole new take on social gaming. With its combination of a simple interface for picking the winners of sports games and the power and ubiquity of the Facebook platform, SportsPicker delivers a fun and challenging social game revolving around professional and collegiate sports.

A significantly different concept from fantasy sports and online sports betting, SportsPicker takes the best of both ? including social competition and odds-based selections ? to create an entirely new and exciting way to enjoy sports. Users simply make their picks for each game, then check their standings against their Facebook friends who are also playing. Points are rewarded on a seven-point scale, with the underdog valued at up to six points and the favorite as low as one point. This enables a weighted odds system which rewards underdog picks. Additionally, SportsPicker is free (ad-supported), so there is no barrier to entry for players and their friends.

"SportsPicker is a great new way to compete with friends by selecting the winners of sporting events," said Oren Kantor, OHK Labs CEO. "We all remember watching some of the greatest upsets of all time and bragging to our friends when we picked the underdog. Now, SportsPicker delivers that gaming experience in a simple and dynamic way."

SportsPicker, now available to all Facebook users, can be found at http://apps.facebook.com/sportspicker. There is no charge to play, and anyone with a Facebook account can get started immediately.

Key features of SportsPicker include:

Innovative points-based system rewards players for picking underdogs over favorites
Support for nearly all popular professional and collegiate sports, including NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, MLS, NCAA Football and NCAA Basketball
Built on the Facebook platform, SportsPicker keeps track of a player's point totals and automatically builds a leader board to compare friends' point totals
A simple one-click method for choosing a winner of each individual game. Players can select picks for every available game in a matter of seconds
Free, ad-based revenue model means that users can play at no charge, increasing the size of a player's competition pool
SportsPicker's safe, non-wagering system, provides a risk-free method of picking the winners of sporting events
SportsPicker allows people to pick teams to win, an important distinction from traditional fantasy games, which center around individual players

?With the proliferation of fantasy sports and online wagering, we thought it would be great to take the best of both systems and roll them into one fun, safe, engaging game,? adds Kantor. ?We think we have a real winner in SportsPicker, and we're very excited to be able to offer it to players free of charge.?

SportsPicker is the only game of its kind available on the Facebook platform, currently estimated to contain over 750 million subscribers worldwide. While the sports available are currently North America-centric, plans are already underway to add international sports.

For more information about SportsPicker visit http://www.sportspickerapp.com and download the press kit from http://www.sportspickerapp.com/SportsPicker_Press_Kit.zip

About OHK Labs:

OHK Labs is a Florida-based developer of mobile gaming applications, founded by Oren Kantor in 2011. SportsPicker, its first game, is available on the Facebook platform and will be available for iPhone and Android platforms later this year.
