Taking advantage of our club’s unique situation of having just announced two new players, we injected ourselves into the conversation of the PokemonGo phenomenon. Recreating the PokemonGo gaming experience, we added David Edgar and Marcel de Jong to our roster the same way a user would capture and add Pokemon to their Pokedex.

The success of these two videos have had a huge impact on our video strategy which we now wrap around the following pillars.
High Quality: Production Value (Staffing + equipment)
Platform appropriate: (1x1 ratios, no audio for FB, 9x16 for Instagram Stories, Snapchat) or in-stadium. (using licensed music) Everyone should adhere to this.
Brand relevant: [Atmosphere, Action, Values (Accessible, Fun, Community)]
