Since 2020, P.LEAGUE+ has partnered with GoSky to create a new interactive form between professional basketball and fans through social digital technology, understanding fan expectations and feedback on games through data. In the 2021-22 season, the Kaohsiung Steel team announced joining the P.LEAGUE+ league, with the Fengshan Sports Center in Kaohsiung City as their home court. As a new team, quickly accumulating fans on social platforms with low reach rates is a top priority. The fastest way to gather fans is to let everyone know the strength of the Kaohsiung Steel team. Therefore, the pre-season warm-up games on November 13th and 14th, 2021 became the best opportunity.
Kaohsiung Steel teamed up with GoSky, using message advertising with GoSky Social CRM and various promotion channels to quickly increase visibility on social media, promoting the warm-up games on November 13th and 14th, attracting nearly 9,000 fans to attend!
