Rapidly Evolving Fan Avidity
It’s about connecting, interacting, and communicating in ways
that could have never previously existed.
GOLD COAST SUNS

The SUNS Learning portal is a highly valuable long-term digital asset that places our AFL & ALFW players at the forefront of the delivery model. Playbk’s solution helps empower the SUNS to mean more to our community than just a football club.

Pain
Continued demand and expectation to build greater connection with their community as a start up franchise moving into an establishment period.
Time poor athletes, coaches and administrators with unknown ROI on traditional face-to-face community activations.

Problem
Creating authentic connections across large geographic region covering over 3 million sq km across a catchment zone that covers Southern and Northern Queensland as well as parts of the Northern Territory.

Solution
The SUNS required an online solution that could easily connect with schools, fans, coaches, and the wider community.
The digitalisation of sport had arrived and now was the time to future proof the SUNS fan engagement approach.

Results
A partner centric approach during COVID-19 empowered the SUNS to digitise a traditional face-to-face program into a fun, interactive online course called “Play to Your Strengths”.
The customised SUNS Learning Portal is now generating measurable ROI and data that will be used to attract new commercial revenue opportunities.
A SUNS Fitness course is currently in production with more exciting products coming soon.
