New York Rangers
Brand Voice Through Different Campaigns
2016-17 Season Campaign
After reviewing over 1,000 real stories from New York Rangers fans and legends, I picked out and pared down about 50 quotes and stories for the creative used on the season tickets. The pamphlet itself offered a few opportunities to write creative copy about the new chapter ahead for Rangers hockey.
Rallying Around RangersTown
For the 2017-18 season, we continued using fans, players and past legends in our creative, only we elevated the campaign. We made it more story-driven and used stronger language, like the rally cry-style from our 2017 playoffs creative.
Pitching RangersTown Stunts
Every new season’s campaign included a deck of marketing stunt ideas. On the Rangers side, it was my responsibility to take 10-14 of the creative team’s best ideas and workshop them into realistic executions. The writeups needed to show how a stunt fit into the campaign and/or brand identity, how we could pull it off within a budget and what the expected community impact would be.
Calling RangersTown to Action
Hockey season offered about 7 months of consistent work. Ads for ticket sales, ticket plans, season ticket renewals, merchandise, themed nights, special events, brand ambience and in-arena activations were constantly being produced and refreshed throughout the season. The list of deliverables varied, but the big needs were usually arena boards, in-arena reads, TV reads and emails.
