Sydney Sixers Team of the Decade: a fan vote that grew the database

The Sydney Sixers used Campaignware to run a Team of the Decade vote, built by the club's own digital team on the self-service platform. Fans picked 13 players, left their details and got a personalised social tile of their team to share. The club added thousands of opted-in contacts to its database.

What they did

The Sixers built the campaign from a Campaignware team selector template, which held the entry mechanic in a clear, visual format and captured data from every entry. Fans went through three simple steps:

  1. Pick 13 players for the Team of the Decade
  2. Leave their details
  3. Get a personalised social tile with their team, ready to share to any social channel

The results

  • Thousands of opted-in contacts added to the club's database
  • Personalised team tiles that fans shared to their own social channels

Sydney Sixers Head Coach Greg Shipperd was looking forward to it too.
