After a season of unprecedented digital growth and original content innovation, the A-Leagues’ content team has been nominated for three international content awards at the SPORTSPRO OTT Awards in Madrid.
The A-Leagues has been recognised for its growth in social media audience, video views and engagement with a nomination amongst global and domestic brands for Best Social Media Strategy. This followed a season that included 368% growth in video views across the A-Leagues, KEEPUP and Dub Zone social channels, which has fuelled unprecedented digital fan engagement for the Isuzu UTE A-League and Liberty A-League.
The first series of KEEPUP Studios’ A-Leagues All Access, produced in conjunction with JAM TV, has also been nominated for Best Original Content, and the A-Leagues has been recognised for its innovative commitment to women’s football with a nomination in the Best Digital First Production category for the first season of Dub Zone, the league’s flagship dedicated Women’s Football program.
The second series of A-Leagues All Access will tell the best stories from across the A-Leagues competitions week in, week out, available each Thursday night on aleagues.com.au.
It will kick off with a look at the Liberty A-League’s Women’s Football Celebration round, featuring Women’s World Cup Matildas Cortnee Vine, Kyah Simon and Lydia Williams.
Niav Owens and Teo Pellizzeri together with a rotation of pundits will also return for a brand new series of Dub Zone to drive the conversation around the Liberty A-League Women, the Matildas, and the biggest topics in women’s football. Join us to review the weekend in a new-look format every Sunday, 8.30pm AEDT on KEEPUP’s YouTube and available live on 10 Play. They’ll be joined this Sunday by Teresa Polias and Catherine Cannuli.
Meanwhile, The Official Isuzu UTE A-League Podcast is on the list of contenders for Best Sports Podcast at the Australian Podcast Awards, recognised not just for the weekly analysis of the domestic game, hosted by Daniel Garb, but for the daily vodcasts produced from Qatar during the FIFA Men’s World Cup last year as David Davutovic, Tom Smithies and David Weiner led the insight as Australia rode the wave of Socceroos euphoria in late 2022.
Off the back of this success, there will be even more content for Australian football fans to enjoy in 2023-2024.
Over the last two years, KEEPUP has proudly developed into the home of Australian and New Zealand football content, covering all corners of the game to serve a fan base thirsty to read more about their favourite players, teams and competitions.
From World Cups to the Australia Cup, the NPL and of course the A-Leagues, we have been there at every turn to provide the latest news, analysis, opinion, video and more.
Over the last week, we launched aleagues.com.au, a new website designed to cover the A-Leagues in more depth than ever before, which also provides easy access to fixtures, highlights, tables, results, match centres, tickets, match highlights and all the essentials you need.
Meanwhile KEEPUP.com.au remains the home of Australian football, focusing on coverage of our national teams, Australians abroad – both players and coaches – as well as delivering an Aussie and NZ lens on global football.
