Southampton FC unveils campaign with blippar
Southampton FC has created an augmented reality marketing campaign with blippar, allowing the fans to ‘become part of the team’.
Using the blippar app, Southampton FC advertising banners will provide access to the club’s website, team shop and ticket office, as well as fans being able to use the huddle feature to place their own face into the Southampton FC team. The image can then be shared via email, Facebook and Twitter.
Huddle images will be seen across the city from this week, with fans being able to see the new materials close up in Southampton’s match day programme for the Boxing Day home match against Crystal Palace.
Chris Hayler, marketing manager at Southampton FC, said: “We always place our fans at the heart of what we do so we are delighted to be able to engage them using such new technology, and to be leading the way in the use of augmented reality marketing by English football clubs. Our supporters now have the chance to access exclusive information and features at just the touch of a button, ensuring that they stay connected with the club wherever and whenever they wish.”
