In
what has to be one of the most interesting media ideas I have heard of lately,
Time Warner Cable is augmenting their sponsorship of Major League Baseball’s
All-Star game with ballpark themed food trucks.
The trucks will offer foods linked to specific MLB cities, so the “Taste
of Kansas City” truck will offer BBQ pulled pork sandwiches, while the “Taste
of Miami” will have fried fish sandwiches.
The trucks will appear all over New York City – the host of this year’s
game – and profits will be donated to charity. (Goetzl, 2013)
The
only discernable link to TWC is the fact that TWC is the WiFi sponsor of MLB
All-Star week and the trucks will offer a surrounding hotspot. Is this enough? Will this campaign help sell Time
Warner Cable to the New York market?
