I recently had the pleasure of being a guest on a podcast that I've been a fan of for a while. It's called No Place Like Home, hosted by Joseph Fordham. We spent an hour discussing all things TFG - from the early days of taking pictures at every ground in The Premier League to the recent launch of the agency (which was announced last week, in case you missed it!). It was great to revisit some topics I haven't thought about for a while, and reflect on the last few years. Have a listen to this episode and the rest of the series here: https://lnkd.in/ef2KuKWE

𝓚𝓘𝓒𝓚 𝓞𝓕𝓕 𝓔𝓥𝓔𝓝𝓣 𝓡𝓔𝓒𝓐𝓟 Last Saturday, The Alpine Run Project welcomed 100 young people from Newcastle, Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham and London to our kick off event. This was an amazing moment for Youth Beyond Borders (YBB), John McAvoy, Nike, JD Sports Fashion and Strava to see how far the programme has come as we continue to strive to meet our vision of introducing 100,000 young people from inner cities across Europe to trail running by 2027 🏔️ Hosted over the course of a day, YBB, Football Beyond Borders, Nike, Strava and SIDEKICK® conducted a series of workshops that help give our young athletes a flavour of what was to come and prepare them for what we hope to be a life changing experience: 🔸 FBB practitioners helped uncover their “why” 🧠 🔸Strava introduced the community platform and how to maximise its use 🫂   🔸 Nike EKINs presented the latest in Nike Trail Running performance wear 🏃♀️ 🔸Sidekick captured content to create ARP portrait cards 📸 Over the coming months our community of young athletes will be attending online seminars, taking part in recreational and competitive runs across the country as well as attending numerous meet-up events. We can't wait! 📱 Follow our journey on Instagram - https://lnkd.in/egKbi8Ur  🫂 Join our Strava community - https://lnkd.in/eBnP9Tkr 📚 More information - https://lnkd.in/enDDM67t Thank you to our partners and the wider ARP family for supporting us in this super exciting year to come #FromTheStreetsToThePeaks

Our first piece of work delivered through TFG Studios landed this week! We supported Amazon with their Women's UEFA Sponsorship announcement with their European-wide campaign, "The Grit". Studios delivered a workshop for Amazon to support creative ideation ahead of script development, brought together focus groups of fans from the UK, France, Italy, Spain, The Netherlands, and Germany for localised feedback, and proudly supported with ongoing consultancy throughout the TVC development. A huge thanks to Amazon for not just bringing us on board for this, but for truly seeking out fan opinion and reflecting it in the final outcome. Next stop - Women's Quarter Finals!

Where Women Power Football 🚀 After many months in the background developing, we're pleased to officially launch TFG Studios - a creative consultancy agency, born out of our platform This Fan Girl. Our services cover Research & Insights, Consultancy, Creative Strategy, Production, Events and Community Distribution. Our main mission at TFG Studios is to connect women to football, and brands to the world's fastest-growing sports audience through the power of Creativity, Culture, and Community and build the game so *everyone* feels its benefits. From improving the representation of female fans and taking the number one Google ranking for the term, to building a community of fans and a network of killer women and non-binary creatives, we’re SO excited to announce the next chapter for TFG. What we’re here to do: + Push, shape, and develop football culture by ensuring real fan opinion is reflected and considered across campaigns + Help organisations understand fan culture nuance (a copy and paste from men’s to women’s football is not the solution here..) + Work with brands to enter into women’s football. We want you here! We know the game will grow with your help and investment! But we want your commitment, time, and care taken to understand this market. + Produce groundbreaking creative work that showcases everything we already love about women’s football + Share our reachable, owned audience of over 20k total followers allowing our clients to connect directly with fans + Economically empower our network of incredible women and non-binary creatives, providing opportunities to break into the world of football + Continue to support the forever growth of the game, with TFG Studios supporting our non-profit, which creates opportunities for play in our home of the Midlands. We’d love to chat, we’d love to have a cuppa, we’d love to join you at your Sunday league game to talk all things Studios and how we can support you. We're hosting a day of sofa sessions this Thursday 14th at Shoreditch House to talk through the agency one-on-one, so if you want to book in, drop us an email at info@thisfangirl.com. Huge, unwavering love to the godfather of football, Mr Ian Wright for voicing our launch, Florence van Bergen for the amazing edit & everyone who's been working so hard behind the scenes ahead of our launch ❤️ www.thisfangirl.com
