Whether at the game or watching at home, Phizzle's proprietary solution, Broadcaster iX™, produces real-time, interactive HD graphics enabling fans to be part of the action through fun and stimulating experiences such as Text-2-Vote instant polling, trivia opportunities, Text-2-Win promotions as well as Text-2-Screen elements through SMS messages, social media (tweets) and pictures displayed during the game.

  • Warriors Insider Mobile Alerts - Primary SMS text campaign and 'mobile alerts' program
  • Warriors Insider Ticket Alerts - Ticket offer alerts via SMS text campaigns
  • Stephen Curry Autographed Jersey Contest - Promoted through SMS, Facebook and In-arena
  • Warriors Whiteout Ticket Giveaway - Promoted through SMS, Facebook and Twitter
