In the dynamic realm of sports marketing, few brands have managed to carve a niche as distinctively as Backyard Breaks. With their innovative approach to engaging fans and collectors, they’ve consistently set the gold standard in its industry. At the 43rd annual National Sports Collectors Convention in Chicago, this commitment to excellence was on full display. Through three unique activations, Backyard Breaks transformed its booth space into a Backyard Trade Zone, creating buzz among attendees while setting a new benchmark for what’s possible when a brand’s passion intersects with experiential entertainment.
To add a touch of magic to the convention, the brand incorporated the concept of the Golden Ticket. Throughout the show, 20 of these coveted tickets were discreetly integrated into our experiences. Lucky attendees who stumbled upon these tickets were given exclusive access to one of two hit drafts – the 2021 National Treasures Hit draft or its Slab Hit draft.
