Digital Ether + Physical Spaces Marketing Challenge

Data analysis identified roughly 1000 highly skilled individuals in modern digital marketing methods. Those individuals were invited to form teams in a two-stage challenge. In stage one, teams created (1) professional designs (2) an overll digital promotional strategy -- which would cover both a digital campaign and a digitized campaign in physical spaces. In stage two, 5 teams were selected to compete with each other in implementing their strategies (to promote an actual event). Data were collected from web analytics and QR code trails in physical spaces. Real time analytics tracked the competition.
