I'm looking to find out how teams effectively market for an alliance pick when they encounter a situation like this. Thank you in advance for your gracious help.

It is hard for an alliance captain to remember each and every team (especially if they are a member of the drive team or do not have a strong scouting program.) So one general tip is to be distinctive - for example, Team 100 is a bunch of orange people with a decorated robot and the funny hats.
I haven't seen your robot/any matches, but I know that talking to potential alliance captains in the pits - preferably not 5 minutes before alliance selection - can get you noticed and remembered as well.
