Weldon, Williams & Lick, Inc. and Project Admission Announce Strategic Partnership
Fort Smith, AR + Nashville, TN – Tuesday, January 18 - Weldon, Williams & Lick, Inc. (WW&L), a visionary provider of ticketing and custom security printed solutions, has partnered with Project Admission to offer digital commemorative tickets to new and existing clients. The longtime global leader in commemorative ticketing, WW&L has tapped Project Admission to help seamlessly expand their offerings into the digital realm.
“As we work to drive a new era of interactive product and service experiences, we’re looking for opportunities for our customers to continuously enhance customer loyalty, and the pairing of physical and digital commemorative tickets is the right next step,” stated Tom Knight, Vice President Product Development & Strategy. “As a long-time solutions provider to the sporting and entertainment industries, we’re excited about how this product and this partnership enables and expands the opportunity for new post-event revenue opportunities,” added Knight.
Project Admission, a technology company specializing in innovative ticketing technologies, developed its digital commemorative ticket offering with a strong focus on creating easily accessed, compelling visual assets for fans to engage with.
“The focus for Awesimo, our digital commemorative ticket product, has always been simple – create something fun and engaging that everyone can appreciate and enjoy, regardless of buzzwords like blockchain, crypto, NFTs, or the Metaverse,” says Tom Giles, Chief Product and Strategy Officer for Project Admission. “By partnering with WW&L to provide interactive, digital commemorative tickets that exist as 1:1 twins alongside physical counterparts, we’re helping bridge the existing industry to web3 in a way that actually makes sense, and supports our broader vision to unlock the post-event economy.”
To kick off the partnership, the two companies are delivering physical and digital commemorative tickets to attendees of the 43rd Annual International Ticketing Association Conference Exhibition being held this month in Orlando, FL. Additionally, they’ll be hosting a panel together that will look at the history of commemorative ticketing from its infancy to the future.
Says INTIX CEO Maureen Andersen, “It’s always exciting when INTIX partners collaborate to deliver innovation in the ticketing technology space. I am pleased that WW&L and Project Admission have chosen our Annual Conference in Orlando to launch this exciting partnership.”
With a vast, shared network across professional sports, venues and iconic artists, WW&L and Project Admission plan to announce further collaborations in the near future.
