The new relationship allows WTG to exclusively represent the Tally gamification platform for the sports and entertainment segment in Brazil. Tally and WTG will present innovative solutions for global brands, clubs, leagues and federations, in addition to providing support to customers in the preparation and structuring phase for their gamification projects. A key focus of the new partnership will be the evolving online sports betting market.
Founded in 2018, Tally has powered gamification programs for some of the biggest names in sports in North and South America. These include the NBA (Lakers, Grizzlies, Hawks); NFL (Rams, Bills, Seahawks); NHL (Blues, Kings, Oilers, Panthers, Wild, Sabres); and MLB (Twins). Its solutions have also featured in Super Bowl LVI as well as within CONCACAF, for the Women’s Championship and 2023 Gold Cup.
This new relationship will help Tally expand its current business in Brazil with AB InBev’s Brahma beer and its Brazilian Series A teams, along with Stock Car Brazil, amongst others.
Rafael Damasio, Tally's SVP Global Operations, said: "Tally knows the passion Brazilians have for sports. We are very happy to close a partnership with a company that shares our values and that is looking to contribute to the development of sports in Brazil, with innovative solutions that bring brands, sports entities and fans together.
“We are sure that our solution can contribute not only to increased engagement with those passionate supporters, but also for all brands and clubs involved to get to know more about their fans, providing better experiences and more attractive products for their customers.”
The product is a solution for global brands that offers a high value digital destination that creates a unique relationship with fans through gamification. In addition to engagement, it provides brand offers and couponing specifically created to provide a return on sponsorship investment.
Marcus Duarte, Head of Marketing at Win the Game, said: “We have been watching Tally’s growth in Brazil for the past two years. Our partnership with Tally brings to the Brazilian market a new, more powerful team that can offer excellent options for engaging fans and customers around sports in general.
“It can transform live broadcasts with real-time engagement. The second screen becomes valuable to sponsors, putting them in direct contact with participants, allowing them to offer innovative products, services, prizes and rewards. This is already a successful partnership.”
Tally, co-founded in 2018 by Super Bowl champion quarterback Russell Wilson, is a fan engagement and consumer data platform company that collects and segments consumer data for its team, federation, broadcast and brand partners using white-label mobile platforms. Its partners utilize this data to increase sponsorship and direct revenue through providing customized goods and services to their fanbase without the cost of social media marketing.
Founded from a Joint Venture between the holding of BTG Pactual, Latin America's largest investment bank, and Fix Delivery Partners, of businessman Claudio Pracownik, Win the Game aims to include the sport in the economic segment of entertainment, generating new revenues, disseminating information and contributing to the professionalization of its management.
Aiming to connect teams, institutions, associations, clubs and athletes to the market and good governance practices, Win the Game wants to bring its customers closer to all parts of the entertainment chain, with innovative solutions to expand the experience of the public beyond the pitch.
