U.S. Open | Chase

Creating fomo-inducing experiences

Overview

New ways to stand out

At the US Open, sponsoring brands often blend into a sea of sameness. In 2023, Chase aimed to break through the noise by encouraging customers to sign up for the Chase Pass and enjoy an elevated fan experience. They needed a fresh and flexible visual language to unify all touchpoints including booths, kiosks, the Chase Lounge, Terrace, and mobile charging stations.

Opportunity

Chase aimed to break through the crowded US Open sponsorship space by creating a fresh visual language that elevates the entire fan experience.

Solution

Ace the Open with Chase

A rally that brings fans to victory by unlocking more of what the Open offers and standing out in a crowded space. SPCSHP expanded the new visual identity into a full visual language and playful tone that amplifies Chase Pass benefits. We partnered with media to align creative with business goals, delivering channel-first content, templated designs for broad use, and strong production oversight including site visits.

Reinforcing Benefits

Before the Open, fans needed to learn how to unlock the best experience with the Chase Pass

A Collaborative partnership

Driving participation

The goal on-site was to undo the previous year, with a premium, elevated look and feel that gets people excited about level of detail, care and excellence that Chase brings to the US Open experience.

Along with Chase Pass benefits, Chase offered mobile charging devices and free-giveaways to all US Open attendees. These additional benefits were communicated during matches on the digital boards and clearly labeled across signage and kiosks throughout the venue.

J.P. MORGAN & CHASE

Along with Chase, J.P. Morgan has had a long history of proudly sponsoring the US Open. Throughout their years of engagement, they have been
a supporter of equal prize money for both women and men at the Open. Our ambition was to continue and amplify the ongoing support JPM and Chase bring to USO.
