NEW YORK METS LAUNCH MR. MET DIGITAL BOBBLEHEAD

 I can't tell if this is cool or lame. I am glad one of the Mets PR guys still sends me stuff.

NEW YORK METS LAUNCH MR. MET DIGITAL BOBBLEHEAD 

Innovative giveaway for fans since they cannot attend games

 

FLUSHING, N.Y., September 23, 2020 – The Mets announced today that the team will bring Mr. Met to their fans in the unique form of a digital bobblehead giveaway. As the name suggests, a digital bobblehead replicates the fan-favorite collectible in the digital medium through a high-quality 3D model which is viewable in the browser of any smartphone or tablet. In addition to the familiar bobbling head motion, the digital figure can be viewed from any angle, revealing rich design details. The underside of the figure contains a value-added user bonus which is revealed by a digital scratch-off card.

 

The Mr. Met digital bobblehead features the beloved mascot in his familiar thumbs-up pose. The giveaway also links to a video retrospective of Mr. Met through the years and the scratch-off underneath the figure reveals a link to additional exclusive Mr. Met content that users may access and download for a limited time. The digital figure will be hosted on the team's mobile website (www.mets.com) and a link will be distributed to all fans on the team's email list. The giveaway is sponsored by team partner Citi.

 

“We are thrilled to provide our loyal fans a digital Mr. Met Bobblehead since they have been unable to see him in person at Citi Field this season,” Executive VP and Chief Revenue Officer Lou DePaoli said. “We look forward to our fans enjoying this very innovative and interactive giveaway.” 

 

The Mr. Met giveaway was created by Digital Giveaways Group LLC ("DiGG"), a New York early-stage company that is pioneering the next generation of sports and event giveaways by migrating traditional formats, including bobbleheads, to a browser-based digital platform.  The initiative was facilitated by AthLife, Inc, a DiGG affiliate.
