Entertainment Challenge Coins
Supporting, Promoting, And Living
Taking up a third of the global market, the entertainment industry in the United States is the largest of its kind in the world. By 2022, our Nation’s Media & Entertainment (M&E) industry is projected to bring in $830 billion. This kind of success is only made possible with support. Consumers of entertainment and media come in passive and active forms. There are fandoms, clubs, followers, and listeners. Some seek out new and exciting avenues of amusement, while others have music and television playing in the background.
The main subsections of the entertainment industry are:
- Movies
- Video Games
- Music
- Books
Custom entertainment challenge coins are made to support and promote properties within these industry elements. Summer blockbusters, top 40 hits, best sellers, and AAA games take consumers away from the troubles of life. They are the ultimate avenues to escape from the stressor and be guided through incredible wonders. Stories are experiences that take us on adventures through time and space. They inspire courage, they teach values, and they leave lasting impressions. Each is a form of storytelling. They are the ultimate avenue for escaping from personal stress and to be guided through incredible wonders. Stories are experiences that take us on adventures through time and space.
The power of entertainment is immense. It is a chance for consumers to experience life from new perspectives in new places. George R.R. Martin wrote, “A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.”
Entertainment challenge coins personify this idea. Music, video games, movies, and books are all forms of escapism that take consumers on journeys of excitement and enlightenment. Entertainment challenge coins represent the industry as an avenue for education, for the promotion of ideas, and for experiencing life through a new lens.
