Sales Director Fan Engagement
-
Mar 2023 - Present
With our Fan Engagement solution, we are redefining the interaction between fans, clubs, and sponsors, thereby dissolving revenue and reach limitations. We achieve this by merging the analog with a new digital club world. In this way, we create unique fan experiences, additional revenues from day one for clubs and digital sponsorship opportunities for companies - we do this with our patented gummy.link technology. We securely link physical events and products with an NFT, which the fan activates with just one scan. This opens up all new worlds in web3 and metaverse for the club, fan and sponsor. Show less
