13. Leveraging Radio for insert Sporting Goods advertiser name Insight Based Ideas

14. Insight #1 A Diamond in the Ruff
High School Football has experienced unprecedented growth and attention:
Stadiums seating up to 20K are sold out EVERY Friday night.
Successful primetime NBC television show “Friday Night Lights” based on highly acclaimed book.
Fan base includes students, alumni, parents, local business leaders and media.
A huge percentage of fans watch the game equipped with radio to hear live commentary, district info, player stats, etc.

15. Idea: High School Football
Together, Radio and Advertiser X will celebrate and amplify the local spirit and pride surrounding High School Football by connecting community, players, coaches and fans with unique content, locally relevant experiences and merchandise from Advertiser X.
NOTE: This idea can be adjusted to support any local school sport (soccer, baseball, etc.)

16. High School Football How it works: On-Air:
Creation of weekly Advertiser X customized vignettes featuring the “play-by-plays” of the week from local High School games.
Play-by-plays can be branded using the Advertiser’s language – for example, if it were Dick’s Sporting Goods “Untouchable As One” is their Football header – so the branded play- by-play could be “Untouchable Player of the Week,” “Untouchable Fan of the Week”, etc. If it were Sports Authority, their tagline is “All things Sporting Good” so the branded play-by-play might by the “Sports Authority, Sporting Good Player of the Week” or the “Sports Authority “Good Sports Fan of the Week”.
Play by play vignettes run during the Friday night games (if possible) or through the weekend and Monday morning following each Friday game.
NOTE: This idea can be adjusted to support any local school sport (soccer, baseball, etc.)

17. High School Football How it works (continued): On-Air:
Sponsorship of existing or new High School football programming updates (features and scoreboard reports).
Preceding each game, stations can program rival school alumni “Sparring Spirits” on-air.
:30 and :60 spots created to announce Advertiser X support and participation in local high school football.
Spots drive to radio remotes at Advertiser X tailgates, pep rallies, stores and website.

18. High School Football How it works (continued): In Market:
Bring individual spirit and strength of community together by hosting Advertiser X Tailgates and/or Pep Rallies.
Radio station creates on-location tailgate concerts or pep rallies at big games or at Advertiser X locations.
Includes Radio station remote broadcast where personalities interview players, parents, boosters, alumni, execs from Advertiser X, autograph signings, meet & greets, etc.
Radio station promotes the Tailgate/Pep Rally on-air along with tips to get in the spirit with Advertiser X highlighting select merchandise.
Radio station street teams are dressed in Advertiser X merchandise distributing offers/flyers/tailgate/pep rally ideas.
NOTE: This idea can be adjusted to support any local school sport (soccer, baseball, etc.)

19. High School Football How it works (continued): Online:
Creation of areas on station sites dedicated to local High School Football and including features such as:
Player, students, cheerleader, alumni, and parent interviews, postings, and features
Scoreboards, team and player profiles.
Fan Cam section - consumer generated photos/video from games, pep rallies, tailgates could be posted online.

20. Insight #2
Play by Play
Sports reports and play-by-play broadcasts on Radio are tremendously popular among Sporting Goods shoppers:
58% of Men who purchased team sports clothing in the last year listen to sports events play-by-play on Radio.
52% of Men 18+ who purchased a football in the past 12 months listen to sports events play-by-play on Radio.
34% of Women 18+ who purchased team sports clothing in the last year listen to sports events play-by-play on Radio.
32% of Women with kids 6-17 who purchased sports apparel in the last year listen to sports events play-by-play on Radio.

21. Idea: Outdoor Sports Reports
Radio-created, Advertiser X-branded sports reports with an emphasis on the sports are most relevant to the Advertiser (e.g. Ski & Boarding Reports for ski shops, Cutting edge & extreme sports for Vans, main line sports reports for Dick’s, Sports Authority, etc.).

22. Outdoor Sports Reports
How it works:
Reports would air adjacent to regularly scheduled sports updates or News reports.
Ability to include Advertiser X guest reporters (consumer promotion/contest) as well as athletes from covered events.
Guest reporters could be Advertiser X employees and/or Radio could host a “casting call” at Advertiser X locations to give fans/customers the opportunity to record an on-air “reporter’s notebook feature”.
For example: It’s the 7th Inning Stretch here at Ford Field and today’s game has proven to be an exciting and energetic matchup between the Braves and the Dodgers. It’s been rough going for new skipper Freddie Gonzolez, But if the Braves can hang on for another inning-and-a-half, they’ll have swept this 4-game series against LA, moving them within 2 games of 2nd place. I’m Joe Q. Radio listener and this was my reporter’s notebook for Advertiser X.

23. Outdoor Sports Reports
How it works (continued):
Content could be streamed on both the radio station website as well as the Advertiser X website.
Creation of Outdoor Sports Reports alerts for breaking news across Advertiser X sponsored sports.
Radio remotes from local market events with on-location Advertiser X Reporting of the competitions.
Retail promotions could include contesting for tickets to events, guest reporters and on-air reporter’s notebook features.

24. Insight #3
Trivia
If you've ever been in a sports bar, you have probably taken part in a sports trivia game. There is often a level of respect given to the guy (or gal) who knows the most obscure sports trivia answers.
If you’ve never been in a sports bar, you probably have taken part in some sort of trivia game and recognize that it is a great learning tool and also quite addicting. Once hooked, the learning never ends!

25. Idea: Sports Trivia Master
Together, Radio station and Advertiser X partner to allow all sports enthusiasts the opportunity to strut their trivia stuff and train for the title of “sports trivia master” through an integrated program that will test sports knowledge and crown one listener as the “Advertiser X Sports Trivia Master”.

26. Sports Trivia Master How it works:
Creation of a series of daily on-air sports trivia questions that are related to the sports most relevant to Advertiser X promotions.
Spots will run in fixed positions, sponsored by the Sporting Goods advertiser.
If the station airs sports reports, the spot runs adjacent to the reports each day.
Questions will run the gamut from National to International to Local sports in line with relevance to the advertiser.

27. Sports Trivia Master How it works (continued):
Listeners answer the trivia question via text message to the station, log on to the station website or call in for a chance to answer live on the air.
For text responses, Radio station will create a short code and include in the trivia question spot (e.g. to answer, text 1067 with your response and we’ll let you know if you’re a winner). All texts received will receive an auto bounce back text thanking the listener for participating with a message from the advertiser.
Online responses will click, answer and be notified if they are correct or not. The listener must opt-in as a registered user to enter into the competition to be crowned “Sports Trivia Master”.

28. Sports Trivia Master How it works (continued):
Each correct response will earn the listener “Sports Points” that will be totaled up to determine if they are a contender for the “Sports Trivia Master” finals.
Advertiser will have access to the database of participating listeners once the promotion has concluded.

29. Sports Trivia Master How it works (continued):
4 weeks into the campaign, correct answers will be totaled to determine finalists for an on-air “live” trivia contest hosted by the station personalities (game show format).
Finalist contestants will participate in a live game show that can take place in-studio or at the Advertiser’s retail location via Radio remote broadcast where one final contestant will earn the grand prize title of “Advertiser X Sports Trivia Master” along with a gift package of sporting event tickets and gear from the Advertiser. Runner-up prizes will also be awarded to the other finalists.

30. Insight #4
The Zone
When you work out or play a sport you love, you almost always enter the “zone.” The zone acts either like an adrenaline rush or a form of meditation. Either way, it makes you feel more refreshed after doing it, and it also makes the workout or sport seem less like a chore and what it actually is – a lifestyle, a passion.

31. Idea: Feel the Rush
When you go full throttle in sports, there’s a rush that comes along with it. A rush that’s addictive and keeps you wanting more. Together, Radio and Advertiser X will feed the addiction through a code-driven, interactive, in-market and on-air promotion providing access to experiences that will inevitably help the sports enthusiast “Feel the Rush.”

32. Feel the Rush How it works:
Radio station and Advertiser X create a hidden code promotional program that will provide access to experiences and cash rewards for listening to their favorite radio station and shopping Advertiser X.
On-air personalities will announce a different code every day in a fixed position spot over the course of the promotional period for chances to win a variety of “Feel the Rush” experiences.

33. Feel the Rush How it works (continued):
Radio will identify experiences and/or create/host locally relevant events and activities, for example:
Tickets to sporting events across the most relevant sports for the retailer.
Lift tickets for ski resorts.
Track/crew pit seats at NASCAR races.
Remotes from events that include extreme and outdoor sports.
Front row seats/backstage passes for concerts.
Cash, gift card and coupon prizing.
Advertiser X tune-in spots will run to drive awareness of the time in which the code will be called – run out and shop Advertiser X to get as many codes as you can. New winners every day.
Codes can be placed on specific merchandise or printed on receipts from Advertiser X.

34. Next Steps Gain feedback on ideas.
