Challenge

In the fast-paced environment of modern football, Newcastle United wanted to create the most meaningful relationships with its fans. Tailoring communications for all its supporters — from matchday ticket buyers and retail customers to international fans — was a top priority, prompting the club to look for a platform that could scale with its evolving needs.

Limited automation, inflexible segmentation, and time-consuming campaign workflows created bottlenecks that hindered the personalized experiences that Newcastle United aimed for. To make its fan-focused strategy come to life, the club needed a solution that could:

  • Unify fan data from all its touchpoints to build comprehensive profiles of its global audience
  • Segment fans based on real-time behavior and build adaptive, automated campaigns
  • Streamline campaign creation with AI-powered capabilities that personalize communications at scale
  • Unlock deeper value from email channel performance

By partnering with Bloomreach, Newcastle United gained everything it needed to create real-time, personalized touchpoints that keep every fan engaged.

Each month, we continue to enable additional features to further strengthen our digital footprint.”
