SAN NICOLÁS DE LOS GARZA, Mexico and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Club Tigres announced today it is partnering with Tradable Bits, a leading provider of fan engagement, data, and marketing solutions, to deliver the very best engagement experience to fans.
The deal follows a highly successful pilot program between Club Tigres and Tradable Bits that saw the launch of more than a dozen fan engagement campaigns designed to harness the power of Tradable Bits’ proprietary fan CRM platform. In less than six months, the program generated a 30% growth in Club Tigres’ fanbase, while also establishing new assets for Club Tigres’ sponsor base that includes Bitso, adidas, Viva Aerobus, Afirme, and more.
Miguel Hernández is Brand Director for Club Tigres, where he oversees the Tradable Bits’ relationship and is responsible for the development of the brand strategy of Club Tigres through its different points of contact. He said of the collaboration, “Club Tigres’ millions of fans are among the most passionate in the whole of football. We owe them meaningful, personal connections to the Club. This is something that can only be achieved in partnership with Tradable Bits whose innovative fan engagement platform is what’s driving our fan outreach campaigns. Tradable Bits ensures we understand our fans and can activate on that data quickly and meaningfully.”
“We look forward to expanding our partnership with Club Tigres, a Club that is truly at the forefront of sports marketing and a case study for best-in-class fan engagement models,” said Darshan Kaler, Chief Executive Officer, Tradable Bits. “Together with the innovative marketing team at Club Tigres, we are preparing to launch a robust campaign slate that will surprise and delight fans, whether they are in the stadium or at home, and whether the Club is in-season or off-season.”
In one campaign, Club Tigres partnered with Tradable Bits to engage casual fans with a “memory match” game featuring men’s and women’s players that launched on social media. The fastest fans were rewarded with a special edition signed jersey. The campaign generated more than 100,000 impressions and a 10% increase in new fans registered on the platform.
In another campaign, Club Tigres teamed up with Tradable Bits to reach U.S. fans that launched this past September to kick off Hispanic Heritage Month. The “Hispanic Heritage Month” campaign spotlighted the Club’s commemorative jersey and was one of 15 that ran during the pilot period resulting in a cumulative 61,000 entries and more than 515,000 unique views.
Tradable Bits was recently recognized by Sports Business Journal as a Power Player in Fan Experience Technology.
