In a world where we lose ourselves

in individuality, we create the

movement of tomorrow.

Urban Sports such as skateboarding, freerunning, and urban dance are booming. These appealing lifestyle sports are growing because people more and more want to decide with whom, where, and when they want to sport. At the same time, municipalities increasingly want to focus on urban sports, and large brands are targeting this target ‘group of the future’. As a society, we are therefore increasingly embracing urban sports.

However, we encounter new challenges. How do you reach a fast-growing market that is fragmented, has no established sports clubs, with athletes who do not have fixed times, see the entire city as their playground, and are therefore completely unbound?

problems

Urban sports   

- Urban sports are rising (opportunity)

- Don’t know where all the sport ‘hotspots’ are

- You can’t easily compete and meet others 

- There are (almost) no organized urban sport clubs

Municipalities

- No insights into urban sports 

- How to formulate urban and execute an urban policy?

- Not being able to reach and service Urban Sports 
- The quality of life decreases through urbanization

Brands

- How to keep customers connected?

- & engaging our audience with activations that fit today's digital world?

- Don’t want to use plain-advertisement

- Urban sports have a unique & trendy image (opportunity)
