    ATI at the Vancouver Molson Indy

    With extensive on-track signage and exhibit space located in a high-traffic area, ATI was seen and SEEN BIG! People who know ATI were very excited to see us there and those who had never been exposed to ATI were very happy to have discovered us at this event. The three day attendance at this event was 160,000.

    ATI on-track signage:
    The largest ATI on track banner was positioned by itself (no other banner signage around it) on a perfect camera angle. Due to the fact that the large ATI banner was placed in a corner at the beginning of a straight-a-way, the banner had maximum exposure to the TV camera shots. The camera would follow the cars out of the corner until they accelerated well into the straight-a-way. The banner appeared like it was a large bill board behind the tiny Indy cars (Champ Cars), due to the optical illusion caused by the combination of the banner angle and TV camera. The banners were not only seen during the Molson Indy Vancouver television coverage but could also been seen during the sports highlights on TSN Sports Desk. Both the Indy coverage and the TSN Sports Desk coverage was viewed by millions of viewers across North America.

    The ATI exhibit:
    The 20' x 30' ATI exhibit contained the ATI Racing Zone contest, two Radeon X800 gaming pods and a lounge area with movies playing on an ATI All-in-Wonder 9800 PRO system. We also had our partners from BAWLS energy drink in the ATI booth again giving out samples of the BAWLS energy drink. The BAWLS staff was very busy as thousands of people stopped by the ATI booth to sample this hi-energy drink and get a co-branded ATI / BAWLS Frisbee. The ATI Racing Zone once again hosted a three day competition for the fastest lap as the winner would receive a Radeon X800 PRO. The line never seemed to get below ten people deep as an estimated 2500 people lined up over the three days to participate in the ATI Racing Zone contest. The ATI Racing Zone also received a spot on CTV (Saturday July 24) after the CTV journalists had been by that same afternoon to check out the ATI exhibit.

    Other ATI promotions at the Vancouver Molson Indy:
    ATI was also represented in the large Plaza of Nations concert area / beer tent. ATI branded beach balls were tossed around the concert area / beer tent on different occasions including the large concert that took place at night and included the band Default. ATI branded bags were also given out as they made their way around the Indy grounds and could be seen in the stands, paddock and even in the pits (see attached pictures). The ATI Get In The Game girls stopped people outside the ATI exhibit and branded them with ATI Get In The Game tattoos. People wearing ATI tattoos were then stopped at random and given prizes, like ATI back packs, ATI water bottles and ATI shirts. The ATI ground graphics advertising the ATI Racing Zone at the ATI exhibit were placed at strategic locations around the Indy grounds. Other ATI banners also could be seen mounted on the fences around the Molson Indy grounds (See attached pictures). ATI Also had a draw for a ride in an Indy pace car. The lucky contest winner received a ride around in the track in a Dodge Viper a speeds of up to 140 mph.
