Elevating Loyalty for an Iconic Franchise
The New York Yankees aren’t just a baseball team—they’re a cultural institution. With 27 World Series titles and countless Hall of Famers, the Yankees have cultivated one of the most passionate fan bases in sports. But as their audience grew more diverse, so did the challenge of providing tailored experiences for fans from all walks of life.
When the Yankees brought Watson on board, the mission was clear: create a loyalty platform that could cater to every fan, from the die-hard blue-collar supporters to Wall Street executives. This required cutting-edge technology, innovative storytelling, and a deep understanding of what made Yankees fans tick.
Watson introduced a role-based membership system, powered by AI and advanced analytics. Fans were segmented into personas—working-class heroes, professionals, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals—and provided entirely unique experiences tailored to their preferences. Blue-collar fans received affordable packages with exclusive access to team events and pre-game traditions, while professionals enjoyed premium seating and networking opportunities. The wealthiest members experienced unparalleled luxury, including private meet-and-greets with players, exclusive dining options, and high-end memorabilia.
AI-powered messaging ensured that every fan received personalized communication, from curated ticket offers to birthday greetings. Immersive digital content, such as virtual tours of Yankees history and exclusive interviews with players, added an extra layer of connection.
The Yankees’ loyalty platform redefined what it meant to be a fan. Engagement rose by 25%, with fans spending more time interacting with the app and attending events. Ticket sales increased by 18%, fueled by the success of tailored membership tiers. Merchandising revenue grew by 22%, with demand surging for items tied to loyalty program perks.
Reflecting on the project, Matt Watson shared, “Flying to New York to work with the Yankees was surreal. Sitting in their boardroom, surrounded by the weight of their legacy, was humbling. This project was about more than baseball—it was about honoring the fans who make the Yankees great."
