Irish software firm Xtremepush is kicking off an exciting new business partnership with LiveScore, a leading digital sports publisher with over 50 million active users around the world.
LiveScore gives users real-time updates, fixtures, results, scores, stats and news on a wide range of sports, primarily soccer. The popular website and app has a presence across the globe, with users in 99% of the world’s territories, and recently announced a partnership with LaLiga at a launch event in Madrid attended by former Manchester United manager and LiveScore ambassador Jose Mourinho.
Xtremepush will deliver LiveScore a comprehensive communications system and add a wide range of new channels (app and web push notifications, in-app messages, app inbox, onsite pop-ups) to provide fans with real-time scores and related content.
The Dublin-based digital engagement platform will also act as the intelligence engine, empowering LiveScore to better understand their users’ behaviour. Going forward, fans will be able to opt in to receive real-time, hyper-personalised and contextually-relevant messages about their favourite teams.
Tommy Kearns, CEO and co-founder of Xtremepush, notes: “LiveScore is a phenomenal company, with a well-deserved reputation for excellence in the digital publishing industry. Their sponsorship deal with LaLiga shows the level they are operating at. We’re delighted to play such a prominent role in their customer engagement plans over the coming years.”
Kevin Collins, CTO and co-founder of Xtremepush, adds: “The roadmap for LiveScore is incredibly impressive. We’re looking at massive volumes here, with a global audience of fans demanding instant updates. The working relationship between our two companies has been excellent as we look to push the boundaries of sports media together.”
LiveScore’s CCO, Derren Maggs, explains their decision to work with Xtremepush. “We needed a service partner who could meet our demanding requirements in terms of operational scale, message volume and project scope. Xtremepush impressed us with their world-class technical capabilities, agility and the completeness of their platform.
“This partnership enables us to understand and engage with sports fans in ways we never could before. We strive to help our users ‘Stay Ahead of the Game’ and Xtremepush will allow us to fulfil this brand promise in new and exciting ways.”
