BluePoint Stadium & Arenas Campaign
Overview
The Stadiums & Arenas campaign is the first in a new monthly industry-campaign cadence adopted by BluePoint ATM. It was approved during the October 2025 marketing sync and is scheduled to launch in November 2025. The campaign targets venue operators and decision-makers at stadiums and arenas, running across email, direct mail, LinkedIn ads, and organic social simultaneously.
This campaign serves as the template for all subsequent monthly industry campaigns (Water Parks → Live Music Venues → etc.), so its structure and timing conventions are intentionally reusable.
See the parent meeting note: [1].
Campaign Structure
Channels
| Channel | Description |
|---|---|
| Email Automation | 10-week drip sequence |
| Direct Mail | Targeted mailer, staggered a few weeks after email launch |
| LinkedIn Ads | Industry-targeted paid ads |
| Organic Social | Supporting posts aligned to campaign theme |
Email Automation
- Length: 10-week automated drip
- Approach: Duplicate the existing Entertainment campaign automation in HubSpot, swap in Stadiums & Arenas content and imagery, and adjust for segment relevance
- Send days: Relative day-of-week cadence (e.g., first Thursday of the month for email 1, second Friday for email 2) — not fixed calendar dates, so the template applies to any month
- Content source: Mike Stebbins provides topic outlines and prospect list; Melissa Cusumano builds and drafts
Direct Mail
- Timing: Launched a few weeks after the email campaign begins (early-to-mid November target)
- Template: Reuse the existing direct mail template from prior campaigns; update copy and imagery for Stadiums & Arenas
- List requirement: Mike must pull physical mailing addresses alongside email addresses (ZoomInfo pulls sometimes return email only)
- Printer: Melissa coordinates with the existing print vendor once the list is confirmed
LinkedIn Ads
- Targeting: Industry-specific — stadium/arena operators and relevant decision-maker titles (e.g., C-suite, operations managers)
- Ad types: Explore single-image or carousel formats consistent with prior BluePoint LinkedIn ads
- Benchmark: Research LinkedIn CTR benchmarks to evaluate performance (1.6% blended CTR observed on prior general campaigns)
- Note: Prior LinkedIn ads were nationwide and not industry-segmented; this campaign introduces segment-specific targeting for the first time
Organic Social
- Posts supporting the Stadiums & Arenas theme published across BluePoint's social channels during the campaign window
- Reinforces the paid and email messaging; positions BluePoint as active in the venue/entertainment space
Monthly Campaign Rhythm
This campaign establishes a repeatable monthly cadence:
- Month N (execution): Run the current industry campaign (e.g., Stadiums & Arenas in November)
- Month N (planning): Begin building assets for Month N+1 campaign (e.g., Water Parks in December)
- Timing convention: Use relative dates ("first Tuesday of the month") rather than fixed calendar dates for portability across months
30-60-90 Cadence
