Hey there, sports fans and brand builders! Dan Kost here. If you’re reading this on March 28, 2026, you’ve just witnessed one of the most incredible Super Bowl seasons in history. The dust has settled at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, the Seattle Seahawks are basking in their 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots, and the world is still buzzing about Bad Bunny’s halftime show.
But for us in the marketing and digital media world, the game never truly ends. Whether you were part of the Super Bowl LX blitz or you’re already looking ahead to the next big activation, there’s one thing that remains constant: winning requires a mix of legacy expertise and cutting-edge technology. At Name. Image. Likeness., we’ve spent the last 40 years perfecting the art of the sports marketing win.
In this guide, I’m going to break down why 2026 was a watershed moment for brands and how our Sporttron digital network is changing the way you reach your audience.
40 Years of Winning: Why Experience Matters
When we talk about 40 years of winning expertise, we aren’t just talking about a number on a resume. We’re talking about four decades of watching how fans consume media, how athletes build their personal brands, and how technology has shifted from local radio spots to global digital networks.
Success at an event as massive as the Super Bowl doesn’t happen overnight. It’s the result of knowing how to navigate the "Super Bowl Experience" at places like the Moscone Center and understanding the pulse of over 70,000 screaming fans in the stands. My journey in this industry has always been about one thing: performance.

We’ve seen it all. We’ve seen the rise of social media, the birth of the NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) era, and the transition to high-definition digital out-of-home advertising. If you want to see a bit of that energy in action, check out our latest reel:

The Power of the Sporttron Digital Network
One of the biggest players in our success during the 2026 Super Bowl cycle was the Sporttron digital network. In a world where everyone is staring at their phones, how do you grab their attention? You go where they are looking.
The Sporttron network is our proprietary digital engine. It allows brands to dominate the visual landscape during high-traffic events. Think about the Super Bowl festivities in Santa Clara and San Francisco. With hundreds of thousands of people moving through the Bay Area, a standard billboard just doesn’t cut it. You need dynamic, high-performance digital displays that can be updated in real-time.
Our network doesn’t just show an ad. It tells a story. It connects the "high performance" of the athletes on the field with the high-performance goals of your brand. By integrating the Sporttron network with our deep roots in NIL, we create a 360-degree ecosystem where brands and athletes thrive together.
Recap: Super Bowl LX by the Numbers
To understand how to succeed in the future, we have to look at what just happened. Super Bowl LX was a masterclass in event programming.
- The Matchup: Seattle Seahawks vs. New England Patriots.
- The Score: 29-13 (Seahawks victory).
- The Venue: Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara, CA.
- Attendance: 70,823 people.
- The Weather: A beautiful 67°F.
- The Halftime Show: Bad Bunny brought the house down.
For brands, the "Super Bowl Experience" at Moscone Center North & South was the place to be. From February 3rd through the 7th, fans were engaged in a way we’ve never seen before. This is where the Sporttron network truly shined, delivering targeted messaging to a captive audience of sports enthusiasts.
Navigating the NIL Landscape in 2026
If you aren't thinking about NIL, you're missing out on the biggest marketing shift of the decade. At Name. Image. Likeness., we specialize in connecting athletes with the brands that fit their vibe.
The 2026 season showed us that fans don't just follow teams anymore. They follow people. They follow the journey of the athlete from high school to the pros. Our NIL marketplace is designed to make these connections seamless.
