The setting

When the Atlanta Falcons came to Germany for their 2025 NFL International Game, they brought their fans with them. The day before kickoff, Sportfive opened the Falcons Haus at Fotografiska Berlin: a meeting point for fans from all over the world.

My brief as Creative Producer: build an activation that gives every fan something real to take home, holds up to professional brand standards, and keeps working when hundreds of people line up at once.

The concept: every fan gets a media day

NFL players get their media day. Why not the fans?

Fans stepped into a stylized media-day set in their Falcons gear, struck a pose, and got photographed by professional photographer Aileen Uzoma. Minutes later, two things arrived:

No QR-code gallery to dig through. No "we will send it next week." The product is the moment, delivered while the fan is still in the building.

The system behind it

The creative idea is simple. What makes it work at scale is the production pipeline behind it:

One operator runs the entire pipeline. Aileen handled photography and experience flow on set; the system handled everything between shutter and inbox. Even with lines stretching across the venue, throughput never became the bottleneck.

The result

A proven, repeatable format

Falcons Haus was the second large-scale run of this concept. At FIBO, Europe's largest fitness convention, the same system ran for the European League of Football and KFC, with over 400 participants.

Two events, two industries, same result: a well-produced, technically reliable concept that fans queue for and brands get measurable visibility from.

Work with me

I design and produce fan activations end to end: concept, brand design, technical pipeline, on-site execution. The format adapts to any league, club, brand or event.
