When the noise online matters just as much as the noise in the stands, how do you break through? Sidelines speaks to the sports marketing experts trusted by Red Bull, PSG, and UFC to manage their brand. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like it or not, in a world where everyone\u2019s smartphones are an extension of their body and their thumbs say more than their mouths, fan loyalty begins online. It’s not enough to succeed in front of those in the stands – global sports brands like UFC, NBA, and Red Bull are realising they need to reach the people behind the screens too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why they have turned to multi-award-winning sports marketing agency WePlay to accelerate their performance, build global campaigns and grow their fan engagement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luca Massaro is the CEO and founder of WePlay. He\u2019s responsible for the vision and direction of the business and is the mind behind their emotionally crafted campaigns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou could say that our role is about helping brands connect with fans, and we do that via what we call moments that matter,\u201d says Massaro. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe live in something called the attention economy, where attention is the most important currency.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When scrolling, reading, listening and consuming content online is a constant habit, people become immune to the noise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brands are in a battle for the attention of their fans, and exclusive insight and powerful imagery on social channels and websites are WePlay\u2019s weapons of choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBrands need to be able to become relevant just for that second for you to listen, watch, and consume their message,\u201d Massaro says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnce we’ve got fans’ attention, then we can look to do things with it, such as building brands and engagement.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This online engagement is crucial for sports as it attracts new sponsorships, shapes identity and increases ticket sales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how do you attract fans, and how has WePlay caught the hearts of so many? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt all comes down to understanding the fans, their behaviour, their understanding and most importantly, their emotions,\u201d Massaro tells Sidelines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jinx or genius? Inside the minds of superstitious sports fans<\/a><\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe talk about what we call marketing biology, which is how you understand the heart versus head dilemma and how you understand and create content that is art and science combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are different behaviours and types of audiences, from a hardcore fan to a casual fan. They\u2019re all from different markets,  different countries, and different ages, so it’s about tapping into an emotion and pulling on the heartstrings because everyone is driven by emotion and an emotional interest in their sport.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By tapping into a fan’s emotions, Massaro and his team create the special \u2018moments that matter\u2019, which then allow them to create and tell a unique message to a large volume of fans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you don’t have an agency that really understands the attention economy, and how to use the different elements of that platform, the creative, the message, the scientific targeting, the audience understanding, you can become very irrelevant very quickly,\u201d says Massaro. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat’s why what we do is critical and why our work has such an impact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Massaro reflects on the high-profile clients WePlay has worked with since taking the idea for the sports marketing company from his living room to the bright lights of Las Vegas in 2019, from a partnership with UFC to an advertising campaign for Red Bull, fronted by Neymar, which helped them reach a younger audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

He also gives Sidelines <\/em>insight into how he\u2019s helping Paris Saint-Germain transform from a \u2018Galactico\u2019-led brand – fronted by the star power of players like Messi, Neymar, and Mbapp\u00e9 – to an era of \u201cyouth and innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA lot of fans stopped following them after those superstars left, but now they’re having their fastest period of growth in many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey have PSG Labs, which is an innovation centre that we’re working on. We’ve got PSG Discord, which is a whole work stream about reaching and engaging people through gaming. We’ve got the Jordan range that we’re activating, which is their partnership with Nike Jordan, and then there’s women’s football we’re doing with them as well. So, yeah, there’s a lot of cool stuff coming up.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love this project and I like that we’re very much a key part of it.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Massaro admits he knows \u201cpretty much everything there is to know about how you market football,\u201d having worked in elite-level football for 15 years, so it\u2019s no surprise that a huge brand like PSG trust WePlay\u2019s<\/a> advice. However, their repertoire extends far beyond football. Another of their most recent ventures is the creation of a growth strategy for Longines Global Champions, a global equestrian sports event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe diversity of sports we work with teaches us a lot about the different audiences that follow different sports and play different sports, and it\u2019s a great educator for marketers who are constantly learning,\u201d says Massaro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve only been working with equestrian for two years, and the relationship between human and horse is something I didn’t even think about or even understand until we started working in that sport.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With everyone from fighters to fillies tapping WePlay up for their sports marketing services, Massaro’s journey from a two-person company in his living room to the bright lights of Las Vegas teaches sports brands an important lesson: success is about more than how you perform; it’s how you’re perceived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
