MediaMarkt: Tech in the Match Moment — Sponsoring Platform in Action
How MediaMarkt positioned tech products within the emotional matchday experience — sponsored product activations at the moment of peak fan attention.
The Challenge
MediaMarkt wanted to reach tech-savvy fans specifically at the moment of highest emotional attention — not through generic online advertising, but integrated into an experience that fans are already actively using. The goal: position tech products contextually without interrupting the matchday flow. Classic display advertising achieved visibility, but no measurable product relevance.
The Approach via the HUDDLE Sponsoring Platform
MediaMarkt integrated sponsored product activations directly into the matchday rhythm of the club app. Fans discovered relevant tech offers as part of the fan experience — embedded in matchday missions and club content. The result: tech affinity meets club passion in the same moment, without any friction loss.
Activation Formats
Sponsored Product Missions
Fan missions with MediaMarkt products as rewards or promotion mechanics — integrated into matchday challenges and club campaigns.
Branded Content
Editorially prepared tech content in the club feed — not declared as advertising, but as a natural part of the fan experience.
Matchday Activations
Product activations around kick-off and final whistle: fans at their emotional peak are guided to tech offers without leaving the flow.
Activation Reporting
Evaluation of click-through rates, mission completions, and product engagement depth — traceable for internal marketing planning.

Product activations in the matchday context with measurable fan response
Greater depth of attention than with context-free display formats
