The Phillies’ Televised Activation Is a Home Run

In partnership with NBC Sports Philadelphia and agency Blue, the Philadelphia Phillies live broadcasted a WebAR activation for their latest bobblehead for player Aaron Nola.

 

During an NBC Sports Philadelphia news segment that aired on August 16th, a QR code appeared along with an image target of Aaron Nola’s bobblehead. Viewers had the chance to activate the image target in real time, bringing the bobble head out of the TV screen and into their living rooms, and unlocking $10 off tickets to the big game.

For anyone who missed the broadcast, the Phillies provided this image target on their webpage to give everyone a chance to take advantage of the discount. Go ahead, try it out!
