- (1888PressRelease) October 06, 2010 - VANCOUVER - New-look stadium presents potential corporate partners with exciting opportunities.
British Columbia's magnetic new home for large-scale events is set to change the sports and entertainment landscape in the province - and FUSION will be responsible for presenting local, national, and global brands with opportunities to be a part of the new stadium experience.
"We are very excited to be working with BC Place to create innovative in-stadium marketing opportunities for brands," Garnet Nelson, Managing Partner, FUSION added, "The new BC Place presents limitless opportunity for marketers. From integrated digital activations to inspiring non-traditional creative extensions and fan connections, anything is possible. "
While BC Place gets revitalized, both inside and out, workers are building the largest blank canvas the province has seen since the stadium was originally constructed in 1982. That's how FUSION thinks - and that way of thinking will be reflected in their targeted approach to brand managers, creative directors, and media buyers across North America.
"FUSION presented a smart and creative plan, and we are encouraged by the direction our partnership is headed," Graham Ramsay, Director of BC Place's Business Development division said. "We know FUSION is the right local partner to help us, and our corporate partners, achieve positive business results while creating an amazing and interactive guest experience for those that visit BC Place".
The five year agreement between BC Place and FUSION is effective immediately, and the agency has already had strong interest from leading North American brands.
