Power of visual storytelling
Visual storytelling transcends language barriers, enabling sports teams to communicate their narratives effectively. ScorePlay, with its AI-driven capabilities, empowers teams to automatically organise content, including video management, so they can seamlessly tell the stories their fans want. By incorporating visual elements, such as images and videos, teams can amplify the emotional impact of their stories, resonating with fans on a deeper level; ScorePlay makes this process simple and free of bottlenecks.
Content collection and distribution made simple
ScorePlay offers various avenues for content collection, catering to diverse needs. From automatic FTP photographer uploads to manual uploads, external party contributions through shareable content links, and even direct broadcasts via RTMP servers, ScorePlay streamlines processes. Athlete involvement is also facilitated through the Athlete App, allowing them to submit content via content requests as well as receive their content automatically immediately after games to boost the amount of times they post instantly. This diverse approach ensures a rich repository of material for compelling narratives, providing fans with the content they want to see 24/7 about their sports team.
Distribution is key to reaching the right audience. ScorePlay excels here too. Content, once tagged with AI, is automatically directed to athletes and partners. Shareable links enable external sharing, fostering a wider reach. Additionally, direct distribution to other platform users ensures targeted delivery in the quickest possible way. The perfect way to integrate storytelling and athletes into your digital strategy.
