FORE! You are about to get hit with some great ways to boost your exposure at your next PGA event. Golf is no longer your grandfather’s sport. Today, tournament organizers are combining the fun of a major golfing event with the excitement of a perfectly groomed party.
It is proven that Experiential marketing can help drive results and create awareness for your brand at major events. Major league events, like those hosted by the PGA, are loaded with opportunities to create memorable experiences. Everything from food, fun, and live entertainment to exclusive hospitality villages and other activities can help you wow, engage, and inspire your audience.
As a sport that is played by 23.8 million Americans, plus millions more around the world, golf is an incredibly strong industry. It is an industry worth nearly $70 billion, and it impacts approximately 2 million U.S. jobs, according to National Golf Foundation statistics cited by the Golf Channel.
Looking for some creative experiential marketing ways to get involved? We have got them!
Taste of the Masters
Want a taste of the Masters? Innovative Group has the perfect way to create a tasty and memorable experience! By adding a generous helping of celebrities and top chefs, serving up heaps of delicious food, and topping it off with a great cause, you too can be wowed by Augusta!
Innovative Group recently helped to deliver this mouthwatering experience to participants at the Taste of the Master Chefs event in Augusta, Georgia on April 6. This national fundraising event, which raises money for the Salvation Army of Augusta’s hunger-relief charity, featured some of the country’s best chefs and some of the biggest names in Hollywood and sports. The event was led by Celeb Chef José Andrés, named one of Time’s “100 Most Influential People,” and he was recently awarded Outstanding Chef and Humanitarian of the Year by the James Beard Foundation. Did you also catch Chef Andrés on the Oscars?
