Victory+ and the Power of Pro Sports Partnerships

Victory+ harnessed high-intent paid campaigns to reach dedicated sports fans actively searching for streaming solutions. By strategically targeting keywords tied to teams, matchups, and regional interests, Victory+ became highly visible during critical decision-making moments, particularly among cord-cutters seeking modern alternatives to traditional TV sports packages.

During the Texas Rangers’ season, a focused ad budget contributed to a 35% increase in audience reach and a 40% increase in impressions, driving a 25% lift in app downloads. High-impact, time-sensitive search ads, such as “tomorrow’s game” promotions, were coupled with geographic targeting across key regional markets, delivering a 10-15% higher conversion rate compared with untargeted campaigns. Creative assets were tightly edited into 6- or 15-second formats, highlighting games, key players, and essential viewing information.

This strategy extended to local and professional sports campaigns, with hockey-focused ads driving 20% of total impressions and 15% of total reach on a proportionally smaller budget. As momentum grew, focus shifted to downloads over clicks, resulting in a 30% increase in app acquisitions relative to previous campaigns. Each ad was crafted to connect emotionally with fans, spotlighting their teams and ensuring Victory+ was top of mind for game-day streaming.

Meta, YouTube, and TikTok campaigns boosted awareness and inspired spontaneous viewing among sports fans. By tailoring creative to each platform’s unique style, fast-paced edits, trending audio, and interactive elements, our ads felt native and captured genuine audience attention, resulting in 25% higher engagement rates than standard campaigns.

Social efforts proved especially effective in connecting with younger, mobile-first sports viewers, an audience less likely to be reached through traditional advertising. Campaigns spotlighted highlight reels, rising players, and memorable moments, sparking 15% higher conversation rates and FOMO-driven sharing among target demographics. As a result, Victory+ expanded reach by 20%, fostered loyalty, and established itself as a go-to destination for next-generation sports streaming.

Consistent measurement and agile optimization were central to our social campaigns. By analyzing engagement, downloads, and audience sentiment in real time, we continuously refined creative and targeting to maximize returns, ensuring each iteration delivered incremental growth of 10-15% across all key performance metrics.

A robust multi-touch campaign structure played a critical role in driving up “show-up rates”, the metric for users who not only downloaded the app but also returned to watch games. By orchestrating a sequence of touchpoints each game week, including targeted reminders and timely updates, we built anticipation around upcoming events and transformed casual downloaders into regular, engaged viewers.

Strategic budget allocation toward game-day messaging proved highly effective in capturing last-minute interest. These campaigns mirrored the psychology of impulse purchases, a well-timed nudge at just the right moment, much like the appeal of candy at a cash register. By surfacing content and reminders when sports fans were most likely to make a snap decision, we maximized live viewership for every streaming opportunity.

Layering communication across channels ensured no segment of the target audience was left behind. Whether through push notifications, in-app alerts, social feeds, or email, every point of contact reinforced the value of tuning in live. This holistic, multi-channel approach ultimately resulted in not just downloads, but sustained engagement.
