In the weeks leading up to International Women’s Day 2018, women were dominating the sporting field, and the This Girl Can movement wants to keep up that headway and encourage more girls to get involved with sports. Female athletes are finally starting to become household names and this has the opportunity to remind people that sport is for everyone and it is incredibly important to keep girls participating in athletics no matter if it is at a beginner level, or advanced. It is all about staying active.
Celebrating the great stories at all levels of sport:

Capturing the attention of football fans on social media presents quite the challenge as fans want authentic content but their wants must also be balanced with what brand sponsors demand. To find the balance, marketers need to create immersive content and experiences that does not violate the sanctity of the sport but makes engagement fun and gets people wanting to share the experience and content with friends. This approach works to grow customer base while capturing increased numbers of people who are not only consumers but fans of the brand.

The football-streaming world is about to be shaken up as Amazon partners with Spain’s La Liga to create a one-of-a-kind documentary series on the league. The docuseries called Six Dreams will let viewers follow players, coaches and club officials from various teams as they play through a season. It will let fans be immersed in the inner workings of the Spanish football season with a wider lens than other club documentaries have had. This will add a number of thrills to the series that are not possible when looking at the season through the eyes of just one club.
