Borussia Dortmund extends partnership with Coinbase
Last season, Coinbase reached over 30 million BVB fans through its sponsorship. In addition to the highly visible perimeter advertising and cam carpets inside the stadium, BVB players shared educational video messages about crypto on BVB’s Instagram channel.
This partnership is key to Coinbase’s goal of introducing the advantages of web3 and the decentralised web to more than 1 billion people. This season, Coinbase and BVB will go to market in a number of new ways. For example, Coinbase’s presence in the SIGNAL IDUNA PARK will increase: As the presenter of all home game substitutions and in-stadium perimeter displays will be shown to match viewers across all of Europe, Middle East and Africa. Together, both companies will partner to produce fan events, co-branded advertising and custom social content on BVB’s social channels.
“The brand partnership between Coinbase and BVB started as a small test balloon and is now entering its second extension. With each new step, we have deepened and expanded our collaboration: additional regions, additional advertising materials, and a longer time horizon. We are proud to count on the world's most trusted crypto platform as a long-term, highly committed partner for BVB,” says Carsten Cramer, Managing Director of Borussia Dortmund.
“Coinbase has a growing team in Germany, and we were the first crypto platform licensed by the German financial regulator. Our collaboration with BVB has helped us successfully develop our own voice in the German market. The extension of our partnership once again demonstrates Coinbase’s long-term commitment to Germany’s most respected football team. We are thrilled to expand our partnership beyond Germany to reach BVB fans in other markets,” says Jan Sell, Managing Director of Coinbase Germany.
“We are truly excited that Coinbase will continue its partnership with BVB for the next three years. The partnership will allow them to offer fans unique experiences and bring them closer to the world of crypto. Borussia Dortmund provides Coinbase with the perfect platform to activate the partnership in an eye-catching way around the world - while the brand continues to be a trusted and established partner for the club,” says Thomas Joos, SPORTFIVE’s Executive Director at Team BVB.
