Challenge

Though GoRout owns the best coach-to-player communications system in sports, there are several competitors in the marketplace with whom the company competes for customers and share of voice. Understanding that a public relations campaign could distinguish the company, GoRout came to Branded because of our agency’s reputation for helping to scale myriad sports tech companies.

Strategy

Branded immediately activated its relationships with some of the media’s most influential voices in sports, including those covering Major League Baseball and college football on a national level. Additionally, the account team developed a messaging strategy that differentiated GoRout’s spectrum-based technology. By doing so, it made competitors using radio frequency technology appear antiquated.
