BRAND IDENTITY GUIDELINES
With the goal of updating and creating an identity with a more youthful and modern feel, Captive provided Baseball Regina with an entirely new brand identity kit.
This kit provides a guide with the brand color, font and logo and how they are to be used.
- THE APPROACH
Using an Experiential Marketing approach, the Monkey Knife Fight Street Team took to the streets, interacting with patrons at sporting facilities and in and around bars to discuss sports, fantasy gaming, and the combination of both of these worlds through the Monkey Knife Fight website.
While talking about fantasy gaming and sports is the initial icebreaker, the conversations shift to MKF’s ultimate goal of gaining new players for the site.
Interested patrons received an explanation of the platform, it’s ease of use, and it’s advantages over competitors.
- FREE PLAY MONEY
Ambassadors encouraged fans to sign-up for the MKF site in exchange for free MKF play money to be deposited directly into their new site account, as well as a branded swag item.
For fans interested in taking it a step further, they have the option of entering CC information and gaining an instant match of their initial deposit up to $50.
- DATA COLLECTION
In addition to providing background on the website during their in person interactions, the MKF ambassadors also collected email information from patrons.
This provided Monkey Knife Fight with the opportunity to not only grow their internal email database, but also provide patrons with further information and promos through email messaging in the future.
- SWAG INCENTIVE
Each MKF Street Team member carried a branded backpack full of various swag items to distribute to fans throughout activation's.
This was an additional avenue taken to elevate the fan experience through small gestures, while also enticing fans to enroll.
Fans have the option of choosing from branded hats, t-shirts, or a Monkey Knife Fight bobble head.
