Brief Explanation

STC offers mobile-based exclusive news for soccer fans – including the Manchester United ‘5995’ service. Our promotional story featured a young Saudi fan who, stumbling upon a United TV shoot, snuck in and grabbed football jerseys signed by the players. This narrative unfolded through clips and photo galleries on a microsite, which also featured an interactive game where fans could win trips to a United game by matching players with their signatures. Everyone registering on the site got a free one-week trial subscription. We also created a Facebook page for our ‘Jersey guy’ to create the impression of a true-life character.
