New Business At FANZO - Summer/Autumn 2024

The last quarter has been a particularly fruitful one for our sales teams with 669 new venues signed up across our 6 operating markets.

Here's a brief overview of some standout operators and notable new venues who've trusted us to make live sport in their venues more profitable, more measurable and less time-consuming.

Australia

Just in time for the summer in the southern hemisphere, we’re thrilled to announce a couple of big sales in some of Australia’s largest and best pub groups.

The Australian Venue Co. signed up a further 23 venues across the country, meaning every single one of their pubs and bars that show live sport is now a FANZO customer.

Meanwhile, Harvest Hotels signed up 7 of their iconic regional venues, offering exceptional pub experiences that feel authentic to each community they reside in.

New Zealand

Staying Down Under, we’re incredibly excited to announce the launch of FANZO New Zealand this week.

The platform will be launched in partnership with New Zealand Venue Co., sister company to Australian Venue Co. who work with FANZO in more than 150 of their sites across the Tasman.

“There’s no doubt this is great news for sports fans and operators in New Zealand”, said Dan Hope, Group Sports Marketing manager for Australia Venue Co. and New Zealand Venue Co.

FANZO’s unique benefits for venues have definitely helped us deliver on our vision for creating local sporting institutions through consistently delivering exceptional in-venue experiences for live games and we’re delighted to be extending that partnership into new territory.”

France

Two groups are of note in France for expanding the range of hospitality venues that use FANZO to market live sport to local fans. 10.55 and UP2PLAY are similar groups that offer a large range of family entertainment in their sites - like a Centre Parks without the accommodation or an experiential bar that doesn’t just offer crazy golf but go-karting, bowling, laser quest, climbing and karaoke as well.

That said, they’ve both seen the value in organising and marketing the live sport their on-site bars and restaurants show through FANZO.

UK

Just in time for Oktoberfest, we welcomed The Bierkeller group to FANZO and their 5 sports venues in major cities across the north of England.

From beerhalls to something more boutique, The Morgan Pub Collective, specialising in gastropubs across the south of England, have signed up 7 of their venues, adding to the 3 pubs already benefiting from FANZO subscriptions.

Finally, Blind Tiger Inns in Manchester have ensured their revamped site ‘The Grosvenor’ opens with a bang in early November with a Master subscription on FANZO.

Formerly known as ‘The Footage’, this historic venue on Oxford Road has enjoyed a £1 million renovation and promises a truly cutting-edge hospitality experience that sports fans will love.
