Solving the Question of the G.O.A.T for LiveScore
The question of the “G.O.A.T” is one of the truly great debates in football. In May, LiveScore pinned its colours to the mast by unveiling Cristiano Ronaldo as their Official Global Brand Ambassador. Now we needed to prove it…
Working with leading mathematician and algorithm developer, Professor Tom Crawford from The University of Oxford, we created 'The LiveScore G.O.A.T. Index'. Using a range of data points and independent inputs, we fuelled the debate and verified Cristiano Ronaldo as the undisputed ‘Greatest Of All Time’.
The concept and execution entered the parlance of football debate around the world, and placed LiveScore at the heart of the conversation, with more than 200 pieces of global coverage spanning print, online, broadcast and podcasts.

Amplifying LiveScore Role as Official Global Partner of LaLiga
As Official Scoring Partner for LaLiga Santander, LiveScore enjoys an enviable set of rights and association with one of the most popular domestics leagues in world football. The challenge is how to leverage this effectively to grow its userbase and convert Spanish football fans to download the LiveScore app.
We created a season-long activation plan based around a series of leading LaLiga current playing talent and legends. At the core of the activation campaign will sat the LiveScore Skills Challenge Series, featuring a number of leading players including Ivan Rakitic, Saul Niguez and Samuel Chukwueze compete in a number of challenges which tested their speed, accuracy and simplicity.
The content was captured on location in Spain across September 2020 and amplified across the season alongside a supporting global PR campaign, with over 400 pieces of LiveScore-branded coverage landing in UK, Spain, and multiple other key markets around the world.

Bringing Back Elite Tennis with LiveScore
LiveScore announced title sponsorship of the ‘LiveScore Cup’, featuring World Number 3 Karolina Pliskova, as live professional tennis made a return to the court this month. Based in the Czech Republic and with no UK involvement, in the tournament – the challenge was to deliver domestic editorial coverage during a time of unprecedented industry news during the COVID-19 situation.
In addition to the sponsorship announcement and in-tournament reporting, we placed strategic media interviews with Karolina Pliskova with the Daily Telegraph and Press Association, ensuring cut-through of the competition in the UK market. We proactively positioned the competition to media as a good-news story as elite sport returns.
Despite being a short exhibition tournament, the LiveScore Cup was featured in more than 270 different media titles, returning over 900 pieces of editorial coverage during the tournament week, demonstrating the power of sponsorship.
