To achieve our goal of developing a platform with engaging content for teenage girls which breaks down barriers in football, our strategy was to create content that highlighted opportunities for girls in every level of the game. Our content was driven by the behaviour change framework EAST: easy, attractive, social and timely.
- Established four key content themes to plan and create relevant and engaging content, from wellbeing to for the love of the game.
- Real-life micro-influencers are central – real girls who love football and can inspire other girls to play, work or volunteer in the game.
- Storytelling formats include BE Tîm, a magazine sharing real stories; Message to My Younger Self, which sees players share lessons learned since childhood; lifestyle Q&As with national players; Club of the Month; BE Confident Q&As on topics like discrimination and bullying.
- Chartered Institute of Public Relations awarded our campaign gold in digital and social media in October 2021.
