What it is

What is a​ ​rugby league fan engagement platform?

A rugby league fan engagement platform is software clubs use to run digital campaigns fans take part in, such as tipping competitions, team pickers and Player of the Match votes. Every entry adds consented data the club owns, and every campaign can carry a sponsor's name.

“50% of entrants were unknown to us prior to this campaign. That's a huge growth in people we can directly market to.”

Your questions,​ ​answered

How can a rugby league club grow its fan database?

A rugby league club grows its fan database by giving fans a reason to share their details: a tipping competition, a team picker or a signed-merchandise giveaway. Every entry on Campaignware is a consented contact the club owns, ready for membership, ticketing and merchandise marketing.

How do clubs turn digital campaigns into sponsor revenue?

Clubs put a sponsor's name on a campaign fans choose to take part in, such as a sponsored tipping competition or Player of the Match vote, and sell it from their rate card. NSW Rugby League's Macca's Moment of the Match drove about 15% of McDonald's digital campaign impressions across State of Origin.

Can we run a season-long tipping competition?

Yes. Tipping and pick 'em runs round by round with a live leaderboard, in your branding, and every tipster is a contact you own.

Does the data go into our CRM?

Yes. Entries go into your CRM, straight in where an integration exists, such as HubSpot, Salesforce or Data Talks. Where there isn't one yet, our team can set one up, subject to scope.

Is it GDPR compliant?

Yes. Campaignware collects data with GDPR-compliant consent, and data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Sponsor opt-ins can sit alongside the club's own, so both sides get contacts they can use.

How quickly can we launch?

Most campaigns go live in under an hour. A typical campaign takes 20 to 40 minutes to build from a ready-made template, in your branding, without developers or designers.

Can you work with our sponsor directly?

Yes. Our team can work with your sponsor directly on the club's behalf and under the club's brand. The relationship stays yours.
