Celebrating a rich history and bold identity on a digital platform that connects fans like never before

The game plan

Crystal Palace FC had an ambitious transformation agenda – centred around enriching the club’s digital brand and owned platform to expand, engage and capitalise on its digital fan base. The club needed a new data infrastructure to enable deep personalisation for each fan across all platforms.

How we’re executing it

We’re capturing Palace’s contemporary brand personality and strong heritage within a slick new website and app. Together we’re commercialising the direct-to-fan relationship with a suite of new products, services and campaigns that are connecting Palace’s loyal fans around the world.

Outcomes
40%

increase in revenue from memberships

78%

increase in web sessions

Creating a direct-to-fan relationship

Exclusive content is accessible via registration and/or paid-for memberships, all neatly tied together through a single sign-on, providing a single view of the fan. Fans are served relevant content and advertising based on membership status, content preferences and habits.

A digital match day destination

Supporters’ matchday experience is enriched through a new and improved Match Centre with live text updates. These are supplemented by live video/audio broadcasts, where rights permit, as well as stats, polls and thoughtfully crafted player profile pages.

“ Thanks to the UNRVLD team for their continued efforts to improve our site. From day one of this project, all our attention has been focused on enhancing our supporters’ experience – and we've delivered significant growth across every core metric. ”
