My Role

Project manager, designer, editor, producer

Notes

Since the formation of the Sounders FC in late 2007, the club wanted to differentiate itself via digital media.

In an effort to bring the philosophy of "Democracy in Sports" to the digital world, SoundersFC.com was constructed to be the first professional soccer site with an integrated online community. Users have the ability to contribute content via forums, blogs, photos, videos and comments.

Through a partnership with Digitaria Interactive, the site was designed to showcase an ahead-of-the-curve brand via large imagery, portable video assets and aggressive revenue models.

Sounders FC Ticket Sales Microsite

Notes

When it came time to seat over 20,000 season ticket holders, our digital media and ticketing teams decided to bring the process entirely online and bridge the gap between a stadium community and online community.

The site was designed to allow season ticket holders to search for seats based upon the demographics of those seated in each section, rather than searching solely upon price and physical location.

The results for the project were impressive. The over 20,000 ticket holders seated with this technology created an energetic matchday environment by grouping like minded fans together for every Sounders FC home match.
