If it has fans,
it has a game!

The leading fan engagement consultancy for federations, tournaments and sponsors. We design the game mechanics that turn audiences into owned, measurable communities, so every pound invested comes back as participation, data and revenue.

01  ·  The shift

Reach is rented.
Engagement is owned.

Most of the industry still sells exposure: logos, boards, impressions, estimated media value. Platform vendors sell software and leave you to work out what to do with it.

We sell neither. We are an independent consultancy that starts with the only question that matters: why would a fan come back tomorrow? We answer it with the discipline of game design. Core loops, stakes, status, scarcity, social proof.

The result is engagement you own outright. A direct relationship with every fan, consented first-party data, and sponsorship inventory that is measured in actions rather than guessed in eyeballs.

02  ·  Who we work with

Two sides of the same game.

For federations, tournaments & rights holders

Your fans are your most valuable asset, and most of them are anonymous. We help you know them, keep them between match days, and turn that relationship into commercial inventory sponsors will renew for.

  • Always-on engagement between fixtures and seasons
  • Consented first-party fan data you control
  • New digital inventory that raises the value of every partnership
  • Younger audiences, reached on their terms

For sponsors & brands

You paid for the rights. We make them work. We turn sponsorship from a line of signage into something fans choose to spend time with, and we give you the numbers to defend the budget.

  • Activations fans actually play, share and return to
  • Engagement measured in actions, not estimates
  • Rights audits: what you own, what you’re not using
  • Clear reporting from participation to pipeline

03  ·  What we do

Strategy that ships.

We are consultants who build. Every recommendation we make is one we are able to design, prototype and put in front of real fans.

  1. 01

    Engagement strategy & audit

    A clear-eyed review of your fan touchpoints, rights, sponsor inventory and data, and a roadmap that prioritises what will move participation soonest and what sponsors will pay for.

  2. 02

    Game mechanics design

    Predictions, streaks, binary choices, leagues, collectibles, rewards. We design the core loop and the economy that keeps it fair and compelling.

  3. 03

    Sponsor activation & rapid prototyping

    Sponsorship built into the gameplay rather than bolted on beside it, so the brand becomes part of the fun. Then a playable product in fans’ hands in weeks, built by us or alongside your vendors.

  4. 04

    Characters & social IP

    Original characters, formats and voices built for the feeds where fandom really lives. You own them outright instead of renting an influencer.

  5. 05

    Digital event campaign rollout & execution

    From kick-off to final whistle, we run the campaign around your event: content calendar, live moments, partner assets and the daily operations that keep fans playing.

  6. 06

    Data & measurement

    Engagement frameworks, consent-first data capture and dashboards that connect fan behaviour to commercial outcomes.

04  ·  Sports we work on

Every sport has a game inside it. We understand it.

The mechanics change with the rhythm of the sport: ninety minutes, five sets, seventy-two holes, a race weekend. The principles stay the same. Hover over a sport to see what makes it different.

Also cycling, athletics, combat sports, sailing and esports. If it has fans, it has a game.

05  ·  Success stories

Proven in play. Three launches, three winning mechanics.

Our playbook is not theory. Each of these went from a whiteboard sketch to a live product in fans’ hands, and each one proves a mechanic we can put to work for you.
