Marketplace Roundup

REUTERS' Larry Fine noted Bridgestone has gone from a rookie IOC TOP sponsor to a "model for fan participation" following their Fan Zone at the Olympic Golf Course for the Rio Games and will try to "help other federations do likewise." Bridgestone set up a "demonstration area for fans unfamiliar with the game in golf's return to the Olympics, which proved to be a hit and impressed IOC officials." Bridgestone Americas VP/Sports & Events Marketing Phil Pacsi said, "The IOC, trying to do new and different things, allowed us to be one of the first experiments with having a demonstration as close to the field of play that we could, with consumer activation with the game. It worked great" (REUTERS, 3/21).
