Who Brand Activations are built for

BRANDS THAT WANT TO BECOME A DESTINATION.

These packages are designed for places people drive to, post about, and bring their friends to. Built for a physical centerpiece + custom merchandise + launch content + a digital story page all working together as one experience. Larger venue programs can add hero installations, sponsor zones, team-store moments, VIP areas, and aggregate reporting by event window.

● Retailers + flagship stores ● Restaurants + breweries ● Campgrounds + resorts ● Arenas + venue groups ● Stadium-adjacent businesses ● Tourist stops + attractions ● Festivals + events ● Nonprofits + causes ● Local brands going premium

Connected venue programs

FEWER HERO PIECES. MORE REPORTABLE VALUE.

Stadium and venue activations are priced around the platform value: premium hero installations, sponsor-ready destinations, approved access paths, and season-long reporting. Tap and scan moments stay the public no-app default; app, scoreboard, sponsor, and operations signals are scoped only when the experience and consent model support them.

GATEWAY ACTIVATION

$45,000-$65,000 setup

$5,000-$8,000/month during active season

A small number of signature installations at the highest-traffic points, backed by the full sponsor reporting platform.

✓ 8-15 premium hero installations at main gates, concourse hubs, and the team store centerpiece
✓ Full sponsor activation platform and season-long reporting dashboard
✓ Tap-to-video, reward claim, and offer-click tracking at every install
✓ Season-end sponsor recap report
✓ Founder-led design and install consultation

FULL ARENA PROGRAM

$120,000-$200,000 setup

$15,000-$25,000/month, full season

Arena-wide fan and sponsor program built on signature installations, not mass hardware.

✓ 25-50 signature installations across concourse, suites, sponsor zones, and entries
✓ Multi-sponsor activation slots with individual aggregate reporting
✓ Arena-wide digital hub reachable from any install, scoreboard QR, venue app link, or public campaign URL
✓ Season ticket holder and VIP suite collectible program
✓ Monthly Activation Intelligence dashboard for team and sponsors
✓ Dedicated account management

MULTI-VENUE / LEAGUE PARTNER

$200,000+ setup, scoped per venue count

Multi-year renewal contract, priced per venue

For a team, league, or venue group running this across multiple arenas or seasons.

The three packages

Your brand at hero scale, with a story page to match.

Includes

✓ 24"–36" custom hero piece (premium metallic-finish composite or quoted material)

✓ Standard lead time: 3–4 weeks

EVERY PIECE IS A CONNECTED COLLECTIBLE.

This is what separates State of Stick from every sign shop, Etsy seller, and sticker vendor. Every premium project ships with a connected access layer — turning a physical item or venue moment into something customers can tap, scan, verify, share, revisit, and remember.

Built on fast edge infrastructure. The pages load quickly, stay live for years, and update without touching the physical piece.

CONNECTED ACCESS POINTS

NFC and QR by default, with app links, scoreboard QR, or opt-in venue signals available for larger programs. Destinations stay updatable without touching the physical piece.

STORY PAGES

Dedicated page on stateofstick.co with your brand story, photos, drop archive, and a pin on the public State of Stick map.

FLAGSHIP PAGES

Larger dedicated page with your story, custom photography slot, and exclusive-to-you drop archive.

CUSTOM MICROSITE

Dedicated subdomain or path with your story, piece photos, drop archive, contact form. 12 months of updates included with the Mural package.

SPONSOR REPORTING

Aggregate reporting by piece, offer, lead path, event window, zone, or sponsor placement for programs that need proof after launch.

LAUNCH CONTENT PACK

Press release draft, email sequence, social pack, influencer seeding list — ready to go on launch day.

Tap-to-open proof

TAP THE PIECE. OPEN THE STORY. KEEP THE RELATIONSHIP GOING.

The physical emblem does more than sit on a wall or shelf. A customer taps it with their phone, opens the live page, and lands inside a branded path for product stories, collector drops, social follows, sponsor offers, launch updates, or a lead-capture moment.

How a Brand Activation works

FROM INTAKE TO INSTALL.

INTAKE CALL

30-min discovery call. We learn your brand, the space, the audience, and what 'destination' means for you.

CONCEPT + MOCKUPS

1–5 design concepts depending on package. You review, we revise. Mockup Authorization signed before anything else.

PRODUCTION + BUILD

Laser-cut, hand-finished, packaged. Digital layer built in parallel — flagship page, story page, or microsite live before the piece ships.

INSTALL + LAUNCH

Founder-led install consultation. Launch content goes out. The piece becomes a destination.

Activation FAQ

WHAT BUYERS ASK MOST.

What's the difference between the Statement, Atelier, and Mural packages? +

Statement ($5,500) is a 24–36 inch hero piece + story page. Atelier ($11,500) adds a multi-piece composition, three custom designs, flagship page, NFC tap, social pack, and launch email sequence. Mural ($22,500+) is a 4–6 ft wall installation with custom microsite, 12 months of updates, and analytics dashboard.

How long does a Brand Activation take from start to install? +

Statement: 3–4 weeks. Atelier: 6–8 weeks. Mural: 10–14 weeks. Discovery, concept, and design approval happen up front; production and digital build run in parallel.

Do you install Brand Activations outside Michigan? +

Yes. Mural packages include a founder-led install consultation via video, or in-person if your location is within reasonable driving distance of Battle Creek, MI. Travel outside the region is quoted separately.

Who are Brand Activation packages designed for? +

Retailers, restaurants, breweries, campgrounds, stadium-adjacent businesses, tourist stops, festivals, nonprofits, and local brands that want a physical destination piece paired with a real digital experience.

Can I upgrade from Statement to Atelier or Mural later? +

Yes — we structure the work so the Statement piece is a complete asset on its own, and additional pieces can be added later as a phase-two activation. Total cost is the same as starting at the higher tier.
