“BRANDedTRAY Digital provides fans an interactive experience not offered anywhere else,” says Bob Errato, managing director of sales, digital solutions, for BRANDedTRAY. “The opportunity of a tangible product to touch, feel, and share, in the hands of the fans, supported by an average of 400 televisions saturating the environment, in tandem, is a very powerful opportunity for brands.”

This new partnership is supported by the ability to tie in promotions and sweepstakes centered on mobile and social elements on both the digital networks and the trays.

“As a company, Access Sports has been aggressive in diversifying our offerings with the goal of encompassing the fan both within and outside the stadium on every possible medium,” says Bill Meara, CEO of Access Sports Media. “BRANDedTRAY is a perfect addition to our growing portfolio of assets as we work in partnership with our teams and clients to reimagine the sports sponsorship landscape to benefit both the fans and the sponsor.”
