Prediction Pit: An Interactive Platform

AFM launched the "Prediction Pit," an interactive prediction platform using data from SportsDataIO. This platform is designed for fans to predict game actions and outcomes in real time. The Prediction Pit features an AI avatar of comedian Rob Riggle, known as the “Guac Guru,” providing personalized predictions, player insights, and guacamole recipes. According to Avocados from Mexico CEO Alvaro Luque, this initiative taps into the trend of fans using a second screen while watching football.

Real-Time Data and AI Integration

The Prediction Pit uses real-time information, including depth chart updates, weather data, and other variables, to generate predictions. The AI system runs thousands of simulations for each game and refreshes them as real-world variables change. Fans can receive personalized predictions tied to their favorite teams or players, delivered as a sharable video.

Guacamole-Centric Experience

To keep the focus on the product, the Guac Guru provides a recommendation for a new guacamole recipe with each prediction. AFM devised 32 different recipes, each tailored to a specific NFL team and its hometown. This approach aims to turn data into something useful and enjoyable.

Strategic Shift from Traditional Advertising

AFM's CEO Alvaro Luque noted that the brand is moving away from spending heavily on 30-second Super Bowl ads. Instead, the brand is focusing on omnichannel marketing that includes in-store displays, on-package labeling, and PR initiatives.

Record-Breaking Avocado Imports

According to Avocados From Mexico president and CEO, Alvaro Luque, this projection reflects confidence in the quality, size availability, and promotional support for partners.
