Podcast to rugby media brand

The Good, The Bad and The Rugby already enjoyed successful commercial partnerships with the likes of Vodafone, British Airways, Amazon Prime and more but they wanted to expand their deal opportunities by moving from being a rugby podcast to a 24/7 rugby media brand and publisher.

Format helped them revolutionise their offering by increasing their social creation capabilities and therefore the inventory they had available to sell to partners.

Through the creation and distribution of breaking news, team lineups, live scores, stats and more from the sport’s matches which mattered they became a key voice in online rugby conversations – and were no longer restricted to what was said in the studio.
