From professional sports leagues without in-person fans to spaces like theme parks and shopping malls closing their doors, consumer behavior around “free time” and how it’s spent have changed the entertainment industry at every facet.
Meanwhile, previously niche environments like eSports are growing in mainstream popularity while still having to pivot around tentpole events that have traditionally happened in-person.
- How has consumer behavior shifted around in-person and virtual entertainment experiences?
- What are venues like the Target Center and the Mall of America doing to keep business alive when their doors are closed?
- How do you engage fans in competition when they can’t gather physically?
- How have marketers pivoted the experiences they’re designing (and selling) without straying too far from the core of their business?
Join us for another panel in our “4.0” series, where we talk about how COVID-19 has impacted our role as marketers and experience creators, and the businesses and industries we serve.
Who it’s for:
- Media planners
- Retail marketers
- Director/VP marketers
- Social teams
- Brand partnership managers
