← All case studiesCase study 1 · Beverage × University

The brand wanted more than visibility at matches. The goal was a bigger distribution footprint across the whole university ecosystem: campus retail, residences, events, nearby retailers and the suppliers that serve them. Most importantly, it wanted to sell directly to the athletes and students it was sponsoring.

The campaign

What we ran with the teams.

01Integrated into the platform

The product sits inside Medicoach. Players order it in the athlete app, alongside their training and recovery plans.

02Official hydration partner

At training and matches, with athlete-led sampling and recovery protocols that recommend the product.

03Team of the Week, presented by the brand

In Fantasy and on the match centre, with rewards that can be redeemed for the product.

04Promo codes on the match centre

Redeemable at campus and local outlets, so every sale can be traced back to the campaign.

05Distribution introductions

We introduced the brand to campus retail, residence tuck shops and caterers to secure listings.

06Performance rewards

Players earn product for attendance, recovery and wellbeing streaks, funded by the brand.

03
Inside the platform

Players buy the product inside the platform.

The brand is part of the ecosystem, not an advert on top of it. Players order through the Medicoach app, collect at training or a campus outlet, and every order is matched to the campaign.
