Case Studies
Letters to Greatness
Digital experiences are becoming an essential part of how fans engage with iconic moments. At the International Tennis Hall of Fame, the Letters to Greatness experience allows fans to send messages to their favorite players or historic moments, sharing the nostalgia and personal significance of those memories. Fans can fully customize their journey through the content, creating a more personal and resonant connection—similar to the way social media tailors experiences. The platform also provides insight into which stories and moments are most engaging, helping the Hall of Fame highlight the content that truly resonates with its audience.

days a year of operation
Advent’s Digital Team developed an interactive experience that compiles and organizes thousands of pieces of content into a user-guided journey, showcasing every game, player, and iconic moment related to the Chiefs. This honors current and past players, helping recognize them. Players return to show their family and friends an experience that makes them feel seen. The experience is exceptionally customizable, allowing you to tailor it to your specific message, brand, and the journey you want your audience to take.
Prioritizing the Razorback Journey
Digital Experiences are an increasingly vital part of our lives and, as a result, our experiential spaces. For the University of Arkansas, the team created an interactive experience accessible from the audience’s mobile devices. This allows users to fully customize their journey through the content. Similar to social media algorithms, it makes the story being told more personal and resonant. Additionally, it enables the organization to track which content is being engaged with and to replace content that is not performing well.
