Goals

Rugby World Cup content carrier Universal Sports anticipated heavy tweet activity around the 3rd largest sporting event in the world. Their goal was to figure out a way to make millions of tweets meaningful to the individual rugby fan. 

Execution

BumeBox powered an onsite experience that allowed RWC fans to quickly connect to team relevant content and fan tweet conversation. Bumebox created a database of terms related to various competing teams, players, coaches, hashtags, etc. and created a team-centric experience. BumeBox also incorporated event relevant real-time information such as a live scoreboard, trending teams, and breaking news. This experience linked through to Universal Sports video subscription service which exceeded their sales goals. 

“Winning is the ultimate goal here — second place is just the first loser,” Schmidt says in a Honda Racing online video that focused on his team’s efforts last weekend at the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach.
