‘Doubling down’: Inside the 49ers social and digital rush to replace lost in-stadium marketing dollars

The pandemic creates an interesting void of more conventional advertising at sporting events which is valued by corporate sponsors, and generated millions of revenue.  With no line of site on when sports will resume in person, CMOs will be focused on brand partnerships through digital channels.  Depending on the relative success, this could become more of a permanent fixture in sports advertising even when we return to normal.
