FanChatter specializes in a user-generated reinvention of the traditional “fan cam” called Scoreboard Photo Sharing that offers no less than 5 distinct brand touchpoints…

Scoreboard Photo Sharing: Call to ActionFirst, fans at an event see and hear a branded scoreboard message similar to the samples below:

“Fans, text your photos to [email protected] for a chance to see them on the scoreboard and online

at (team).com! Courtesy of (sponsor).”

Scoreboard/public address is brand touchpoint #1 4

Page 5: FanChatter Events Presentation 013109

Scoreboard Photo Sharing: SMS ReplyNext, every fan that participates receives an instant text message reply capable of containing:

• brand messaging • coupons or coupon codes • special announcements and offers • web addresses/links to branded websites • opt-in instructions for a mobile alert program (see page 18) and more…

The SMS reply is brand touchpoint #2 5

Page 6: FanChatter Events Presentation 013109

Scoreboard Photo Sharing: Photo ApprovalThen, an operator* manually approves incoming photos and exports them for inclusion in a scoreboard slideshow.

* If an operator is not provided by the team or organization, FanChatter can supply an operator for an additional fee.

Scoreboard Photo Sharing: SlideshowRecommended Scoreboard Slideshow Sequence*:

1. Branded Intro (:05 or less) “Fans, it’s time to see your mobile photos, presented by (sponsor)!”

2. Branded Mobile Photo Slideshow (:20 - 1:15) Slideshow of 10 - 35 mobile photos including sponsor logo

3. Branded Address Reminder (:05 - :10)** “Text more photos to [email protected]

4. REPEAT***

Sponsor LogoOverlay

* See sample video at http://events.fanchatter.com/features

** Showing an address reminder at the end of a slideshow attracts the greatest number of photos (triggering the most branded reply messages) but it also indicates that more slideshows will follow.

*** FanChatter recommends multiple interactive slideshows per event in place of the single-touchpoint “fan cam”.

Scoreboard Photo Sharing: Event GalleryEvery mobile photo approved by the

operator is automatically posted to a real-time branded web gallery

including a unique user-generated photo page for each game or event!

Complete with brand messaging and display ads, this gallery may be incorporated into any website or exist separately as a branded microsite.

Scoreboard Photo Sharing: StatisticsAt left is a partial snapshot of FanChatter’s control panel statistics display.

CASE STUDY: During their 81-game 2008 home schedule, the Minnesota Twins and sponsor Qwest collected:

15,041 total photos from

9,031 unique fans resulting in

13,336 Qwest branded reply messages (one reply sent per unique fan per game)

That’s a per-game average of 185 photos received from 165 unique fans with a single-game high of 636 photos from 525 unique fans.

And there were 2,912 unique visitors to the Qwest branded gallery microsite (meaning roughly 1/3 of the number of participating fans visited the site).

There’s almost always more than one fan involved per picture, so fan totals should be adjusted up by a factor of 2 or 3 AND THESE ARE ALL HIGHLY ENGAGED IN-VENUE IMPRESSIONS!

Visits increase when galleries are incorporated into- or linked from a team, event, or sponsor site.

Scoreboard Photo Sharing: Testimonials“FanChatter enabled us to provide McDonald’s with a unique sponsorship platform to reach our fans in a fun, interactive and memorable way. Now that it’s possible, why wouldn’t you let your fans see their own pictures on the scoreboard?” Sterling Cryder

Account Executive Sooner Sports Properties

“My friend and I took a quick picture and sent it in while we were waiting for the game to start back up. Everyone in the student section was doing it. I like FanChatter better because you never know when you will be surprised by the jumbotron camera. At least this way I know what I am sending in instead of being caught on candid fan camera.”

Melinda HawkinsSeniorUniversity of Oklahoma

“FanChatter has provided us with an extremely unique feature that gives the fans the chance to enhance their experience not only at the ballpark, but when they return home. The Twins Pics segment has been wildly popular and generates thousands of photos from our fans' cell phones and PDA's, but what really brings this element full circle is the ability to post every photo on to a website so they can be part of an internet scrapbook that commemorates each Twins home game."

Andy PriceDirector of Game Presentation and BroadcastingMinnesota Twins

Scoreboard Photo Sharing: RequirementsFanChatter’s tools are web-based and easy to operate. Graphics and animation are NOT included* so Scoreboard Photo Sharing is display technology agnostic. System requirements are as follows:

1. A large HD or SD videoboard display

2. A computer with a high-speed internet connection

3. A way of transferring JPEG photo files from the internet-enabled computer to the computer controlling the videoboard display (if they are different). On older systems, this can be done using a simple USB drive.

4. An operator assigned to monitor and process the photos for display. FanChatter will train team personnel for this role or provide FanChatter personnel upon request.

* FanChatter will provide skilled graphic design and slideshow animation elements upon request.
