Pitch brief

What the concept needed to communicate

The pitch needed to make a connected smart-stadium opportunity easy to grasp at a glance. The concept brings planning, entry, live context, stadium services, loyalty and participation into one coherent mobile product world.

Concept decisions

Decision chapters

The creative prompt was to imagine one mobile destination spanning fixtures, live match context, tickets, stadium services, rewards, and club content.

The concept uses a simple information hierarchy to make the breadth of the idea legible in a presentation: the next fixture, match state, tickets, and club content remain visible without turning the home screen into a menu maze.

The match clock became the pitch's organising idea. A future fixture can suggest tickets and alerts; the hours before kick-off can surface access and optional upgrades; live and post-match states can bring in stadium services, statistics, the timeline, supporter posts, and the squad.

To make the smart-stadium proposition credible in the deck, the concept extends beyond a single polished ticket. It shows an empty state, an upcoming ticket, seat choice, ticket verification, and the purchase record behind imagined matchday extras.

The proposal also explores how one account could connect access, supporter status, rewards, membership, and club participation. The shared hierarchy makes these imagined surfaces feel related in the pitch.

Reflection

The match clock organised the whole service

Using time before, during and after the match as the organising model kept tickets, stadium services, live context and participation coherent within one supporter journey.
