I consulted on a number of internal and external advertising projects for the Sanford Center of Bemidji, Minnesota, a 4,700 seat multipurpose arena and convention center, which opened in 2010. This piece was part of a large sponsorship by a regional car dealership; it was created to scale and installed over the ticketing window of the arena, which was renamed the "Ford Pickup Window." The truck display is built out of 4 dimensional pieces and was wired for lights and sound—at the discretion of Sanford Center employees, the headlights would flash and an engine sound could be activated.
My working relationship with the Sanford Center, and Director of Marketing Cyrus Pansch, resulted in a 300% increase in advertising revenue, which allowed the facility to pay down its loans with the city and increase its operating budget to a sustainable level. |
