Flipping traditional matchday media on its head

Challenge

Traditional matchday programmes remain profitable but the vast majority of fans are unable to attend each fixture which impacts the reach of the valuable content within the programme.

Solution

We created a digital programme for the Vitality Women’s FA Cup Final. Our digital programme was hosted on the FA’s website and targeted fans not attending the fixture. This mobile-first experience was a condensed matchday preview with video highlights from previous rounds and interactive timelines to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Women’s FA Cup Final.
