New York Red Bulls

Challenge:
Red Bull Arena sought to appeal to the musically progressive student/young professional (18-29), while creating a family-friendly environment for fans, playing a prominent role in defining soccer culture in the United States. To keep the “edge” inside the arena, no Top 40 music was allowed and high energy was a must!

Solution:
Unique musical programming was curated for each game-day experience and played live in the arena. Emerging artists (spanning electronic, indie and world music) were featured along with original custom content for brand messages, experiential engagements and prominent in-game moments (i.e. kickoff, halftime and post-match).

Results:
-Worked with the team for four years, enhancing the franchise’s entertainment offering
-Amplified fan spirit and involvement, helping to win the league’s “Supporters Shield”
-Annual reach of 350,000 soccer enthusiasts and music loving consumers
