DROPBOX HACKATHON

From New York’s Silicon Alley to Dublin’s Silicon Docks, hotbeds of innovation everywhere have begun to draw the attention of the world’s biggest tech name-brands.

From New York’s Silicon Alley to Dublin’s Silicon Docks, hotbeds of innovation everywhere have begun to draw the attention of the world’s biggest tech name-brands.
The newest in this lineup is London and its “Silicon Roundabout.” Located around Old Street and bordering Central and Eastern London, this thriving tech/creative area has attracted companies like Google, Cisco … and, now, Dropbox. So MKTG LDN thought we’d give the newcomer a warm English welcome, in the form of a 2-day hackathon at Shoreditch Studios.
Over 120 developers and designers were challenged to create new apps using the Dropbox API, and were awarded for their skill and creativity in a variety of categories, including London Local, Best Design and Overall Winner. Two social hours, including an open bar and dinner, allowed ample opportunity for some members of the Dropbox product teams to meet their new neighbors.
With mentions in The Guardian, Techworld and multiple social media channels, the Dropbox hackathon proved that it will make a great neighbor in London’s new capital of tech and innovation.Other creators -
Beats IFA 2014
In 2013, Beats made some serious noise at the IFA Conference in Berlin, creating a booth space where everyone wanted to be.

With black walls and no way to see inside, music blasting and a queue to get in, the word quickly spread that this was the booth you just had to see. This year, Beats and MKTG INC took a different approach by creating a conference “Oasis” for guests to escape the chaos during one of the world’s largest consumer electronics shows. KPM Porcelain Factory, built in the mid 18th century, hosted meetings, presentations and a hands on product demonstrations daily. MKTG and Beats organized a private car service for guests to get to and from KPM to add to the high-end service Beats always offer.
Once guests arrived at KPM, they were escorted to one of four meetings rooms built out by MKTG where Beats hosted distributors throughout the four-day activation. Guests had the opportunity to hear about everything new with the Beats brand and get hands-on with the products in a dedicated Brand Room. MKTG provided on-site Beats Product Specialists to help demo the products and answer any questions. After meetings and presentations, guests were invited to lounge and enjoy a drink in the Ibizan-themed Courtyard.Other creators -

Every year Beats by Dre welcome European distributors to London to talk about anything and everything Beats. The International Distributors Conference gives Beats the chance to engage with their distributors, showcase the latest products and talk best practices. The two day event is made up of presentations, breakout meetings and hands on training sessions…oh and who can forget a good Beats by Dre party. Each room was assigned to different Beats departments to cover a full range of topics. MKTG INC then turned existing meeting room spaces into a themed room that had its own personality and showcased each product from their full line.
MKTG INC was tasked with creating a consumer journey that flowed from room to room and gave each distributor a new experience throughout the day. Each group of distributors were provided a Beats Brand Ambassador to offer a concierge type service to the conference. Escorting groups to the meeting rooms, greeting them when they came out and answering any questions they might have throughout the event.
Monday evening was the Beats World Cup Viewing Party at Skyloft in London. Located on the 28th floor of Millbank Tower distributors and Beats got an opportunity to get away from talking business and relax for a night of food, drinks and football.
From finding the venues to casting the right staff, from designing the rooms to building out all the spaces, MKTG offered a full service event for Beats and their distributors. Now it is on to Hong Kong for round two of Beats IDC 2014.Other creators -

This year, Gatorade has been challenging the young football athletes of the globe to show us their real work through an online contest called “Unreal Around the World,” in which athletes upload a video of themselves putting in the real work necessary to give a great performance on the pitch. The athletes behind the top five winning videos will win a trip around the world with stops at the top football meccas of the world, such as the Gatorade Sports Science Institute in Bradenton, Florida, London, Liverpool, AC Milan, FC Barcelona, Boca Juniors in Buenos Aires, Argentina), and Rio de Janeiro. To support the contest, MKTG INC is giving a taste of an unreal experience to a few elite footballers in London and New York.
On 26 May 2014, at the esteemed Emirates Stadium, 120 local athletes from academies were invited to take part in a competition that was like no other. Wearing technology that measured their biometric output, the teams were sent out to a divided pitch and started with rotations of small-sided games. Members of the Arsenal tech staff were on the sidelines providing their own assessments via an iPad scoring system. Athletes were awarded extra points for creativity and athletic ability.
Based on their scores from the wearable technology and the iPad scoring system, the top 12 overall players and the top 3 keepers were identified and highlighted in a final challenge of football drills. Drills were measured by time, creativity and accuracy.
The emotion of these athletes was intense; never before have they scored a goal to see a reaction of pyrotechnics, smoke and streamers, all in Emirates Stadium. One of the Arsenal legends, Martin Keown, made an appearance and awarded the top athletes with some words of wisdom and a congratulatory message.
Unreal Around the World will visit the New York area on May 30 at Sinatra Park in Hoboken, NJ.Other creatorsSee project -

We all know Manchester is known for it’s “football” or soccer. With local teams Manchester United and Manchester City within a few miles of the city center, weekends see the streets of Manchester filled with seas of Red and Blue. The weekend of October 5, 2013 introduced Manchester to a new type of fan, the basketball kind. MKTG INC and the NBA worked together to produce an engaging Fan Zone to help educate fans and promote the Global Game between the Philadelphia 76′ers and Oklahoma City Thunder, being played right there in Manchester. The backdrop was a Centre Court setup in Manchester’s busy Printworks. The high foot fall centre draws tens of thousands of people, young and old, everyday.
MKTG INC produced a space that got basketball fans, and even non fans, excited about the game. From hosting shooting competitions to dance competitions, skills competitions to autograph signings, social media wall to “jersey row,” even if you didn’t know much about basketball you weren’t excluded. Not to mention NBA Legends Vlade Divac, Peja Stojakovic, Dikembe Mutombo and Manchester’s own John Ameachi were in attendance throughout the weekend. The experience made fans feel like they were at a half time show all day long. Crowds gathered all day to see NBA Legends, win cool prizes…oh yeah and there were cheerleaders there, too!
The next Global Game will be in London in Jan. 2014 between the Atlanta Hawks and Brooklyn Nets. The NBA is truly a Global brand and MKTG INC not only helped bring basketball fans together but showed people that the UK isn’t all about football.Other creators -

The Consumer Electronics Conference is one of the largest in the world and saw over 60,000 consumers daily.
Marketing Stand - "How do I get in? Do I need a VIP pass?" With one of the only fully enclosed spaces at IFA, buzz was surrounding the hall floor. With BEATS Boxes blaring music, the long queue and security guards out front everyone wanted to get in to see what BEATS had going on. MKTG helped liven up the space with TV monitors looping video content and gobo lights filling the space. Once inside consumers were met by product specialists to showcase BEATS latest products (Studio, Neon Mixr's, and more).
Sales Stand - MKTG helped BEATS by providing BA's to meet and greet consumers as they entered the booth.
BEATS sales team were hosting invited consumers throughout the 6 days.
MSH - BEATS wanted to offer an exclusive experience to influential buyers to showcase their latest products and plans for the rest of the year. Held at Astor Film Lounge, buyers were greeted by 12 beautiful MKTG Brand Ambassadors and got the exclusive chance to hear President Luke Wood share his knowledge of the new products and the exciting plans for what is to come next.
BEATS Party - What would any event be without a party hosted by BEATS? Hosted at the riverside venue Spindler & Klatt BEATS brought in headliner Axwell to perform for almost 2,000 guests. MKTG provided VIP hostesses for the special "invite only" occasion.
For BEATS this was their first conference since going "Solo" (ha, see what I did there), but surely it won't be their last. The BEATS go on!Other creators -

Oh yeah, and they picked up some headphones as well. Twenty-two nations were represented in the campaign, including athletes from the USA Track & Field team, Team Great Britain and many other Olympic medalists from around the world. MKTG INC and Beats by Dr. Dre won the Olympics and are looking forward to the next adventure in four years' time.

The race started with performances by Heather Small and DJ Reggie Yates, sending the runners down Piccadilly, throughout central London, and past iconic landmarks such as Big Ben, the EDF London Eye, St. Paul's Cathedral, Trafalgar Square, and Westminster Abbey. Just when the excitement of everything started to take its toll, runners looked up at a large digital screen that had personal messages from family members and friends that were sent via the Nike+ Cheer Me On app. Our goal was to help the runners see how far they have come and what they have accomplished. In the end, MKTG INC and Nike delivered a personal experience and helped the runners feel a true sense of accomplishment from the starting whistle to the finish line.

At Sundance '20 MKTG partnered with HBO to promote McMillion$, through a unique peel away experience that broke through the festival's noise and gave attendees the chance to win a game that wasn't rigged. Taking inspiration from the series, MKTG attracted large crowds using an in-character street team, exciting prizes as well as insta-worthy moments to create this immersive party. Although Sundance is known for its exclusive events, McMillion$ on Main Street deviated from the festival norm by opening to the public and giving them the opportunity to REALLY win!
Festival goers lined the street to get in and have their chance to win big, but they stayed for the little details such as, branded "happy meals," themed cocktails, unique photo ops and nostalgic 90's music. Attendees left counting down the days to tune in for the full story on HBO and bragging about finally winning big. Don't forget to tune in and watch McMillion$, which aired Feb. 3rd.Other creatorsSee project -

The "Y" is why they do what they do, why they partner with certain festivals, and allows them to show up in meaningful ways. We were excited to contribute to Life is Beautiful and create a unique experience that celebrates the beauty of life.
Working with some amazing partners, the footprint showcased a 9' tall, 360 degree LED Y showing content from all angles and a 13' x 20' flower tunnel perfect for an amazing photo op experience. Consumers could leave their mark at the festival by writing messages why life is beautiful to them and attaching a flower which was placed on the wall to bring the wall to life even more.
Happy to have partnered with Lyft to bring their vision to life and celebrating life and "Y" it is beautiful!

We all know how crazy the week leading up to the big game can be, and not sure for talent but for consumers as well.

AT&T SEC Championship Fan Fare

After a successful SEC Nation tour MKTG decided to take the Escape Room to another level by creating a 2nd Escape Room. Same concept of trying to escape with SVP's device (his phone this time) but a different football related storyline. This time SVP left his phone at a production control room after filming a segment. This room was much more tech heavy again showcasing AT&T/Samsung devices and their capabilities.

Not only did MKTG have 2 x Escape Rooms in the space we also incorporated a couple of custom football themed games for mobile devices, created a lounge for consumers to charge their phones while watching some DirecTV, gave fans a chance to meet and get autographs from former players from the championship schools. Finally we gave fans the platform to share all of these amazing moments in the footprint and get rewarded for it at the Social Rewards table. Show you shared a moment in the Fan Fare and get a branded premium.
Another great opportunity for fans to engage with the brand and college football and show everyone how to FREE YOUR FANDOM! -

MKTG tried to come up with a new way to incorporate SEC football and AT&T's mobility/devices in one place that could be used in a 10ft x 20ft space on college campuses during the college football season. We took an existing 20ft x 8ft shipping container and fabricated out the entire inside to look like Scott Van Pelt's (SVP) home office and he left his tablet there and needed it so he could stream the games. Consumers had 10mins to find clues and solve puzzles in order to escape the room with…
