Email Marketing with Klaviyo: Reaching Fans with Precision
Email marketing remains one of the most effective ways to connect with fans directly. As a Klaviyo partner, DNRG has access to sophisticated email marketing tools that allow for segmentation and personalised messaging.
- Hyper-Segmentation: We create segmented email campaigns tailored to fan behaviour and demographics. We develop targeted email series for family attendees, corporate groups, and season ticket holders.
- Automated, Personalised Campaigns: Using automated workflows, fans receive timely updates on match schedules, ticket sales, and exclusive promotions. Personalisation is not creepy – and a common marketing myth, these types of targeted email campaigns drive conversions and build lasting fan loyalty.

2. PPC Advertising as a Google Partner: Driving Traffic and Conversions
As a Google Partner, DNRG brings industry expertise to paid search advertising, optimising ad spend to reach the right audiences at the right time.
- Precision Targeting: We utilise audience insights and behavioural data to deliver ads with pinpoint accuracy. For Bristol City campaigns, our Google Ads targeting die-hard fans and family groups achieved a Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) of 4.97.
- Optimised Landing Pages: Our ads lead fans to optimised landing pages designed to convert, with clear calls-to-action (CTAs) for buying tickets or signing up for fan programmes.

3. Paid Social Media Campaigns with Meta and TikTok
Through partnerships with Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and TikTok, DNRG maximises engagement on social media, targeting fans where they spend the most time.
- Platform-Specific Strategies: On Meta, we focus on community-building, while TikTok campaigns engage younger fans through engaging, trendy content.
- Segmented Messaging for Maximum Reach: With Meta, we tailored ad messaging to suit different fan demographics. Family-focused ads highlighted kid-friendly aspects, while ads targeting younger fans framed Friday night games as social events, boosting group ticket purchases by 32.9%.

4. Content Writing with SEO: Boosting Organic Reach and Engagement
Content creation is a core part of DNRG’s strategy. We use SEO best practices to increase online visibility and drive organic traffic, ensuring your message reaches fans beyond paid channels.
- Keyword-Optimised Blogs and Articles: By targeting specific keywords like “sports events,” “increase ticket sales,” and “sports marketing strategies,” we create valuable content that attracts fans searching for relevant information. Our blogs include fan stories and player profiles, increasing engagement and brand loyalty.
- On-Page SEO and Content Optimisation: We leverage internal links, optimised images, and structured data to ensure maximum search engine visibility

Case Study: Bristol City and Bristol Bears—A Model for Success
Our campaigns with Bristol City F.C. and Bristol Bears are examples of how DNRG’s targeted strategies create lasting fan engagement.
- Audience Segmentation: We built 531 unique ad sets to connect with distinct fan segments, from families and corporate groups to social fans. By delivering tailored ads to each group, we ensured our message resonated on a personal level.
- Multi-Channel Campaigns: Across Meta, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Google, we ran 85 campaigns with messaging that spoke to each group’s interests. Family-focused ads showcased weekend games as perfect for family outings, while corporate ads highlighted premium hospitality options.
- First-Party Data and Acquisition: Leveraging first-party data, we tailored messaging for existing fans while using digital ads to attract new ones. This approach was key in driving a 9.6% attendance increase for Bristol City and a 32.9% boost in group ticket purchases.
