Challenges faced

With three games a week, as well as training, press events and conferences, and partnership activations, Tigres has a huge weekly influx of digital assets that require centralisation and classification to be searched and easily findable. Tigres upgraded their digital strategy with an infrastructure that would allow them to grow their presence and innovate to create meaningful engagement with their fanbase, by using visual storytelling to foster long-term brand loyalty.

ScorePlay provided them with an all-in-one solution.
