Field Barcode

The challenge

Stadium sponsorship logos are increasingly ignored by fans watching at home.

The idea

Groundskeepers and tech specialists cut a scannable barcode into the grass that stayed readable from broadcast camera angles. Fans could scan it from TV, phones or shared clips to land in Mercado Livre's shopping experience.

Results

  • Thousands of scans from televised matches
  • Sessions up 7% during the campaign
