InCrowd announced as an Agency Of The Year finalist in the Football Business Awards 2018

We are proud to be have been shortlisted for the Football Business Awards 2018.

The Agency Of The Year Award recognises the overall commitment to and understanding of football and the judges were looking for creativity, insight and clearly defined & successful client outcomes. Operating since November 2015, InCrowd have had an exceptional third year of growth and opportunity.

The InCrowd fan engagement platform offers exciting new activation opportunities for brands. Sky Sports and Sky Bet partnered with InCrowd to develop a cross platform, interactive World Cup predictor game, Road To Moscow, powered by FanScore. The game generated 2.6million predictions between the end of the 2017/2018 regular season and the start of the World Cup.

Using the platform, Birmingham City FC were able to integrate Foster’s as the official Man of the Match vote sponsor, using InCrowd’s push notification and digital voucher system to incentivise participation.

Also this year, InCrowd formed the first sports app supplier partnership in the UK with Ticketmaster allowing rights holders to present their fans with a revolutionary new ticketing solution, vastly improving their match day experience whilst capturing previously unattainable fan data. 

We launched official clubs apps for Premier League side Burnley FC and championship team Leeds United FC who placed a priority on live streaming, in line with their continued focus on fan engagement. InCrowd also launched the first multi-lingual UK official football club app with Cardiff City FC giving Cardiff direct access to their extended international audience.

InCrowd are also able to offer solutions for fan engagement within football stadiums, by building and launching digital display software InCrowd Cast, giving the rights holders the ability to showcase live content on  their LED perimeter boards. Notably, InCrowd partnered with LED perimeter board supplier, Stellavista to power their hardware within the American Express Community Stadium, home of Brighton & Hove Albion FC.

We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate InCrowd clients and award nominees Brighton & Hove Albion FC, Aston Villa FC, Derby Country FC, Cardiff and Huddersfield Town FC. We are proud to work with you as you continue to inspire and engage your fans.

InCrowd have their fingers firmly crossed for the evening of the 22nd November 2018 when the winners will be announced at City Central at the HAC, in London. Congratulations to our Agency Of The Year shortlist companions on their incredible work this year; we look forward to celebrating together in November.
