Insights
This AR integration represents a significant commercial advancement in sports entertainment technology, though its immediate revenue impact for Stagwell appears The platform's ability to seamlessly blend AR with live broadcasts while enabling real-time brand activations demonstrates strong technical capabilities and scalability potential. The partnership with major brands like Princess Cruises and Uber Eats validates the commercial viability, but the technology's contribution to Stagwell's
The platform's browser-based approach, eliminating the need for app downloads, reduces adoption barriers and increases potential reach. However, the real test will be expansion beyond the Rams to other teams and venues, which would signal stronger revenue potential. While innovative, similar AR initiatives have historically struggled to generate substantial revenue streams, making this more of a strategic positioning play than an immediate financial catalyst.
Stagwell's (STGW) ARound platform is designed to be easily activated by any team or brand, offering a scalable, commercial-grade AR solution that integrates seamlessly into live broadcasts and mobile experiences.
ARound and the Rams debuted this technology last month during the Rams home opener at SoFi Stadium. ARound's automatic camera integration allows AR effects to be broadcast on the Infinity Screen, blending live game moments with dynamic AR content. Complementing the broadcast, ARound's mobile browser-based platform allows fans to localize AR interactions, marking a new era for sports entertainment that gives fans a more immersive way to engage all game long.
"We're transforming how AR enhances live sports broadcasts nationwide," said Josh Beatty, Founder and CEO of ARound. "Whether fans engage on the Infinity Screen or through their phones, we're creating a fully synchronized AR experience that amplifies fan engagement like never before."
This breakthrough technology is a first in the NFL, allowing brands including Princess Cruises and Uber Eats to offer real-time AR activations that seamlessly blend into the game.
"ARound is helping us continue to set the gameday standard by creating dynamic engagement with our fans," said Kathryn Kai-ling Frederick, Chief Marketing Officer, Los Angeles Rams. "This is the future of sports entertainment—AR integrated with live broadcasts to create a multi-layered, immersive experience for fans and brands in the stadium."

Uber Eats: Seamless Engagement and Real-Time Reward Redemption
Uber Eats' new AR activation allows fans to unlock offers such as in-game food and beverage deals —which are instantly redeemable at stadium concessions.
