NFL Sunday Ticket Tackles the Pandemic and Scores Lifelong Fans

For years, DIRECTV’s NFL Sunday Ticket has been winning student subscribers with an exclusive 75% discount on its streaming service. Then the pandemic closed campuses and nearly shut down the league. The company responded by doubling down on its strategy—maintaining the offer and deploying bold marketing tactics like animated commercials, podcasts with favorite sports hosts, and premade video messages students could use to ask their parents for a gift subscription.

Launching an untested campaign was risky, but using SheerID to prevent discount abuse gave the sports brand the confidence to run its 4th-and-long play. The move scored big, driving an 29% increase in subscribers and winning the company the Vince Lombardi Trophy of streaming service success metrics—a 75% student renewal rate.
