VfB Stuttgart – New target groups. On Roblox.

VfB Stuttgart – New target groups. On Roblox.

Fast Track – To the Point

Football clubs are no longer just competing for stadium visitors. They are competing for attention, and today that also takes place in digital worlds.

  • New target groups where they actually are: Roblox has over 200 million active monthly users, the majority under 25. If you are not present there, you don't exist for this generation.

  • Brand as a digital asset: Responsive jerseys that automatically adapt to any avatar. The VfB Stuttgart brand becomes a digital object that millions wear and share.

  • Earned Media through an unseen format: A football club on Roblox is a story that tells itself. Attention that money can't buy.

  • New sources of collaboration and revenue: Digital brand presence opens doors to brand collaborations, sponsoring, and licensing in digital spaces.

VfB Stuttgart wanted to reach a target audience that grew up with gaming and consumes sports differently. Traditional marketing efforts barely reach this generation anymore. What was needed was a presence exactly where this target group actually spends their time.

Added value & Classification

Added value & Classification

Those who bring their brand as an asset into digital worlds unlock target groups and revenue streams that traditional marketing cannot reach.

The model works just as well for sports clubs as it does for consumer goods brands, media companies, or event brands. A digital brand presence does not end with the Instagram channel. Broadcaster logic means being present everywhere the target group is, with formats that fit that specific location.
