SUMMARY

With no U.S. based home teams, NBCSNs challenge was to bring US viewers to Barclays Premier League soccer (BPL), or football known elsewhere. We incentivized adoption of clubs by encouraging fans to pick a side. We engaged via speak football edu-tainment content. We entertained through a long-form mockumentary comparing BPL to US football, all in all creating a cultural tipping point and over a billion earned impressions. Our British invasion was victorious, minting 19.1 million new viewers, increasing audience reach 2.4x during the 2013-14 BPL Season over prior season on ESPN/ESPN2/Fox Soccer.
