Execution
IBM ReturnServe gave tennis fans something they’d never had – the chance to stare down a serve from their favourite players. But not just any serve – one that happened on court just moments earlier.
We designed 4 pop-up courts:
- On site at the Australian Open
- In the Melbourne Airport business lounge
- In the Sydney Airport business lounge
- At a popular Sydney city shopping centre
Plus we developed a ReturnServe desktop version – which everyone could play at work and at home.
