Description
Samsung UK has partnered with The Elephant Room to devise a major new grassroots football campaign that will empower Sunday league teams to become champions of creativity and tech.
The Grassroots Academy will provide local community support for local teams by helping five clubs to learn vital creative and digital skills through Samsung technology, elevating their clubs’ brand and content, amplified through Samsung channels.
Grassroots football beats at the hearts of communities all over the country. But it's in trouble.
More than 5,000 grassroots football clubs will cease to exist as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, a new report has warned. The study found that 96% of clubs in the UK have seen a reduction in income in the last year.* There are 43,000 active clubs in the UK and, according to the research, 12% say closure is inevitable.
Clubs need help to thrive and so Samsung is working with the London based agency to empower clubs everywhere to raise their game through creativity and Samsung technology. To win likes, fans and followers.
