Matchday Takeovers
In addition to traditional advertising, matchday takeovers generate the kind of exposure needed to launch a new product or send a message direct to your target market.
Working in conjunction with you, we are happy to create an environment that allows businesses to showcase and promote their products and services to target audiences uniquely and engagingly. Matchday takeovers put you in control of the big match build up. Demonstration stands, car park space and function room areas can be maximised to attract interest and leave a positive memory of your product or services to fans attending matches at Heritage Park.
