In a stadium. In a fan zone. In a crowd of strangers holding their breath at the same moment.<\/p>\n<p>For brands, showing up at these events isn&#8217;t enough. How to become part of a moment that already belongs to fans, and how to make that feeling last long after the closing ceremonies, is what&#8217;s relevant.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a question Jamie Barlow knows well. As SVP of Creative Technology at Sparks, Barlow has spent his career at the intersection of live experience, fan culture, and emerging technology working on activations ranging from stadium installations to global sports sponsorships. He recently shared his perspective in an op-ed for SportCal, one of the sports industry&#8217;s most authoritative and widely read intelligence platforms read by executives and decision-makers shaping how brands invest in sports.<\/p>\n<p>The piece shows why the most effective brand activations chase long-term relationships over visibility. The brands that get remembered are the ones that make fans feel seen, not sold to. Technology plays a role, but only when it serves the fan experience and doesn&#8217;t distract from it.<\/p><\/div><\/section><section class=\"c-padding-block content-[''] h-[30px] 2xl:h-[60px]\" with-spacing=\"false\"><\/section><section class=\"c-testimonial block-padding-x overflow-x-clip overflow-y-visible\"><figure class=\"bg-gray-1 text-sparks-black relative block-padding 4xl:p-[90px]\"><div class=\"overflow-hidden\"><figcaption class=\"mb-7 md:mb-10\" data-aos=\"fade-up\"><div class=\"a-section-label text-lg md:text-xl leading-none tracking-widest uppercase font-semibold text-[color:var(--was-accent-color)] text-gray-4\"><!--[-->Jamie Barlow, SVP of Creative Technology, Sparks<!--]--><\/div><\/figcaption><blockquote class=\"s-wysiwyg font-semibold md:text-[max(2rem,3rem)] leading-[1.05]\" data-aos=\"fade-up\"><p>The best activations start with a simple question: how do the fans already participate, and how can we become a relevant part of it?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><\/div><span class=\"text-[max(7rem,10vw)] md:text-[max(14rem,10vw)] 4xl:text-[280px] leading-[0] absolute -left-[1rem] md:-left-[2rem] lg:-left-[3.5rem] top-[2rem] md:top-[4rem] lg:top-[5rem]\" data-aos=\"fade-in\" data-aos-delay=\"500\" data-aos-offset=\"0\">\u201c<\/span><span class=\"text-[max(7rem,10vw)] md:text-[max(14rem,10vw)] 4xl:text-[280px] leading-[0] absolute -right-[1rem] md:-right-[2rem] lg:-right-[3.5rem] -bottom-[2rem] md:-bottom-[4rem] lg:-bottom-[4.5rem]\" data-aos=\"fade-in\" data-aos-delay=\"200\" data-aos-offset=\"0\">\u201d<\/span><\/figure><\/section><section class=\"c-padding-block content-[''] h-[30px] 2xl:h-[60px]\" with-spacing=\"false\"><\/section><section class=\"c-copy-block\"><div class=\"c-copy-block__wysiwyg s-wysiwyg txt-18\"><p>It&#8217;s a framework that shapes how Sparks approaches every sports partnership, from understanding fan rituals to designing environments that feel intrinsec to fan culture and not imposed.
