Case Study · 2003 RWC
Champions 2003 England Rugby World Cup connected shirt

Champions 2003 —a legacy, re-tapped.

Fan Connect activated the 2003 England Rugby World Cup legends' campaign with connected shirts that open exclusive stories, memories, and player support content.

Every shirt carries its own identity. A tap proves the shirt is genuine, opens the campaign content, and turns an anonymous owner into a known, contactable fan the team can come back to.

Case Study · The Colosseum
Kaleo performing at The Colosseum in Rome with Fan Connect connected ticketing

Kaleo at The Colosseum —one ticket, the whole night.

In partnership with Vertigo Live, Fan Connect provided the ticketing and authenticated merchandising for Kaleo's exclusive concert at The Colosseum in Rome.

Ticket Portals delivered an end-to-end experience: ticket details, travel and hotel information, merchandise links, and exclusive footage. The NFC ticket handled venue access, then kept working as a keepsake with content the promoter can update long after the show.

Every piece carries a secure encrypted NFC chip. One tap opens a digital portal unique to that individual collectible, with a digital certificate of ownership, serial number verification and provenance authentication. No app. No account.
