The first of its kind for a major league baseball franchise, the Giants @Cafe is a living social media headquarters located in a ballpark. From this unique location, which functions as an integrated digital command center, a multi-screen video wall displays featured social content from Twitter conversations to Instagram photos.
"It's a privilege to receive this award for the thinking and effort our team put into the Giants @Cafe. This award and this project are both testament to the increasing importance of social media as a new, vital part of the sports fan experience. By showcasing the best fan-created content, the Giants @Cafe is a place where they can come together as a community," said Jeff Dumo, Array Interactive's VP of Marketing & Sales. "So far, Giants management is very pleased with its performance and the response from fans. It's a genuine honor."
The largest and most influential media, marketing and advertising site on the net, MediaPost honored Array Interactive at its fifth annual awards ceremony for excellence in digital out-of-home media. Submissions from global, national, and regional agencies in 22 categories were judged on creativity, innovation and effectiveness reaching consumers and achieving campaign goals.
