What’s the difference between just liking something and really loving something? How can brands build fandom around this difference? And what can sports clubs and brands learn from each other when building a fan community? Those were just some of the questions Roger Dudler tackled today with our fantastic speakers Oana Vlad, Jordan Giesler, and Tosh Hall at our panel on the power of brand fandom at D&AD Festival. All speakers added exciting perspectives to the discussion and gave insights into the role of winning the Superbowl (like the Kansas City Chiefs) or creating current campaigns like the K-Wave (from The Coca-Cola Company). Here’s the top advice from our speakers when it comes to building brand fandom: ➡️ 1) Be brave, take risks, and do things differently (Kansas City Chiefs) ➡️ 2) Bring creative ideas that are off the beaten path — even if they don’t fit the strategy — to go above and beyond. (The Coca-Cola Company) ➡️ 3) Build a relationship first and understand who your client/brand is, what they want, who their potential fans are, and what they want to be successful.

Sports associations are vital in developing talent and promoting sports at all levels. They spread the love for sports, nurture talent, generate revenue for sports development, and aid in scouting. To achieve this, substantial funds are needed, and sports streaming offers an excellent opportunity. It helps discover and encourage young talent while attracting sponsors and generating revenue. However, traditional video production is often costly, complex, and manpower-intensive, challenging smaller leagues. This is where automated live sports production comes in to save the day. Automated technology, like the solution offered by SportVot, can transform the way sports associations live stream their events, boost visibility for the sport and generate revenue for the association. Discover how SportVot is transforming sports streaming with automated production, ensuring young athletes get the spotlight they deserve, and empowering associations to thrive.

🚀 The rise of emerging fun sports like Teqball and Pickleball showcases the transformative power of leveraging social media and streaming to connect with global audiences, bypassing traditional media's limitations. This digital-first approach not only fosters community engagement but also accelerates the journey towards formal sport recognition, demonstrating how technology is reshaping the way we promote, engage with, and celebrate new sports. Back in 1999 my first real job focused on bringing soccer to the web (bundesliga.de) and we were joking about niche sports, this has definitely changed and is opening up new opportunities. #sxsw2024
