Match Point: Chapter 2062 youth storm

The right time, the right place, the right people -

Everything is just right. What time could be more suitable than now?

From the Challenger League and Youth Storm throughout the year to the emergence of Gao Wen as the "Fifth Giant" to the fierce competition for the world's number one at the end of the year, not to mention the "fighting" craze has become a trend with the help of Nike. A sign that the new generation of young people are at the forefront of trends.

Get out of the circle frequently!

The advantages in all aspects are all concentrated on Gawain.

There is no doubt that Gao Wen is the best synonym for the new generation and once again leads tennis into a new era and expands different markets.

Nike, sensing business opportunities, prepared a series of activities during this offseason to formulate a detailed blueprint for the upcoming 2016 season.

ATP also sensed business opportunities.

Only then did Calvelli appear.

but-

"What do you need me for? I'm just a player. I don't know anything but tennis."

Gao Wen is not being modest, he is telling the truth. He is indeed a layman in terms of marketing and brand planning and cannot provide much help.

Calvelli showed a confident smile, took out a document from his briefcase, and handed it to Gawain.

"Don't worry, this is our profession. We just hope that you can cooperate with ATP to complete some publicity and attend some activities, that's all."

In fact, ATP spends a lot of effort every year for marketing. From a purely marketing and promotion effect, ATP does a better job than wtA, and it has been directly reflected in the attendance and advertising sponsorship in recent seasons.

ATP's strategy is very clear. They are ready to make full use of the influence of the four giants to create more waves.

Those plans cover a wide range of areas, including cooperation between ATP and players, cooperation between ATP and different events, cooperation between ATP and different national tennis associations, ATP's own planning, etc., and run throughout the year.

Now, what Gawain has in hand is a plan—

A project centered around young players with Gawain as the core.

Such treatment is unique in ATP.

But looking at it from another perspective, as the leader of Youth Storm, Gawain's existence is unique in itself, and there is no other alternative.

ATP is so solemn, to a certain extent, it is sincerity and determination.

Generally speaking, it is a win-win situation between ATP and players. Players will not reject ATP's proposal because players need to cooperate with ATP for a long time and because ATP's proposal is also beneficial to players.

But occasionally there are exceptions.

After all, ATP considers the profit of the organization, not the interests of players. It is not uncommon for ATP to ask players to sacrifice their personal interests for their activities. This is also the necessity of the existence of the players union.

ATP didn't want Gawain to become such a special case, so he lowered his stance from the beginning.

Even the choice of Calvelli from Nike as a representative should be the result of discussions among ATP senior officials.

Under Calvelli's gaze, Gawain opened the plan and briefly scanned the catalog.

Then, Calvelli’s explanation came to his ears, “We look forward to more young players being seen, and we also look forward to the Challenge and Hope Games getting more attention. Of course, more importantly, We’re seeing more young people on the Grand Slam and Masters stages.”

Blah blah blah... But these are all stage words, which are easy to say but difficult to execute.

Unless a broad and deep mass base can be established at all levels of competition like football and baseball in the United States, everything will be in vain.

Wait, different levels of competition?

An idea flashed in Gawain's mind.

Raising his head, Gawain looked at Calvelli, who was talking eloquently, and showed a smile. There was no need to interrupt, just a look was enough.

Calvelli noticed it keenly, stopped his words at just the right moment, and returned a look, signaling Gawain to speak.

Gawain did not refuse, "Mr. Calvelli..."

Calvelli smiled and said, "Just call me Casimo."

Gawain took the opportunity to speak, "Casimo, do you believe in advertising?"

Calvelli paused, and although he did not understand Gawain's intention to change the subject, he still answered, "No, I don't believe it. I used to believe it, but not now."

Gao Wen nodded in affirmation, "Times have changed. In the past, there were few information sources, and the intuitive and vivid advertisements could easily convince consumers. But now there are many information sources, and consumers have become smarter about how to insert advertisements and how to persuade consumers. You need to be smarter."

"The same goes for business promotion."

"We spent countless efforts shouting, 'Hey, ladies and gentlemen, please watch this year's ATP year-end finals. The Ilye-Nastase group is the death division, it is wonderful.' But in the end it was still the same group of people who bought the tickets and entered the venue. Loyal fans, that group of fixed, long-lasting, passionate fans."

"It still doesn't really appeal to an audience that's not interested."

the reason is simple-

The charm of competitive sports lies in the game itself.

Even a hundred shouts and shouts cannot compare to the traffic brought by a highlight of the game or the top five goals.

In this regard, Calvelli is a professional, and he understands the truth, "But today's match between you and Rafa, the ratings hit a new high."

Although it is a compliment, it is not flattery.

Gao Wen's focus was not here either. He snapped his fingers and said, "Correct, in the final analysis, what attracts the audience is the competition. Maybe the average audience doesn't care about who is ranked number one in the world at the end of the year, because they don't even know me or Novak." , but they will care about exciting rounds and beautiful games, this is the common charm of competitive sports."

Calvelli was a little confused~www.mtlnovel.com~ vaguely grasped some context, but could not identify it clearly, and did not know where this conversation would go next.

Gawain did not show off, but showed a smile, "So, it is the same for the new generation."

"Maybe you don't know Kyrgios, Rublev, or Zverev, but if they play a wonderful game, people will naturally pay attention and become curious about this group of unfamiliar faces. Who are the young people?”

"This is the correct way to promote competitive sports."

Calvelli was vaguely aware of something, but the more straightforward way was to say directly, "What do you mean?"

Gao Wen lightly shrugged, "Instead of arranging these interactions, publicity, and marketing, it would be better to hold an event directly."

Calvelli was stunned—

It feels a little weird. He should be the one to promote their publicity plan to Gawain, but why are the two people's positions reversed now?

But it doesn't seem like a bad feeling.

Calvelli blurted out his question, "A tournament?"

Gao Wen nodded in affirmation, "Just like the year-end finals held at the O2 Stadium, ATP can hold another year-end finals for the new generation."

"The top eight players in the world qualify for the year-end finals at the O2 Stadium, and the same goes for the new generation's year-end finals."

"The top eight players in the world at the end of each year only need to add a prefix here. Players under twenty years old? Players under twenty-one years old?"

"The details of the rules can be discussed later."

"But the overall concept is this, it is a year-end finals for the new generation of young players."

"A feast of youthful storm."
