FC Schalke 04 – Connected Badge
mm sports has supported FC Schalke 04 in the marketing of its tricot sleeves. An innovative marketing concept was developed jointly together: the “Connected Badge”. The concept is no longer used primarily as a visual sponsor element but by means of a chip integrated into the tricot, it allows a variety of additional functions such as networking, communication, transaction, data storage etc. The concept is a central component of the rights package of the new premium partner AllyouneedFresh. Already at the start of the partnership the sleeve badge contains a chip with payment function so that all fans can pay with their jersey in the VELTINS Arena.
Innovative sports marketing of mm sports with a highly innovative partner and customer!
Alexander Jobst, Member of the Board & Marketing Director of FC Schalke 04: “The successful cooperation with mm sports is based on their highly professional sponsorship and marketing competence and know-how. Due to many years of a personal and trustful relationship with the mm sports management, we were glad to develop together the „connected badge“ as a unique innovation in the successful marketing of the FC Schalke 04 shirt sleeves. We will for sure continue to relying on the expertise of Stefan, Gregor and their team in the future.”
