Scaling a global sports platform at speed

By stacking DAZN’s creative, digital and production teams with high-calibre freelance specialists, we helped them leverage their acquisition of major broadcasting rights across the NBA, NFL, and various international football leagues.

‍

The approach 

As DAZN’s strategic freelance partner, our team worked directly with the VP of Creative to build a resourcing model that aligns with their strategic operations.

‍

• Developed a “black book” of ready-to-go vetted freelancers that kept production moving. 
• Focused on 38 critical hires, spanning design, content, production, UX/UI, brand and operations.
• Become the go-to supplier of talent across Europe, the Middle East, and the UK.
• Utilised our umbrella companies to ensure end-to-end compliance, manage contractor payments and facilitate longer-term engagements. 

‍

The impact 

With the right talent in place, DAZN scaled in line with their global project requirements without compromising on quality. When the FIFA Club World Cup kicked off, we were ready to mobilise entire teams and bring in specialists from key competitors to make DAZN’s first international football event a raging success.

DAZN set out to be the digital leader in global sports media. We helped them build the creative engine that made it possible.
