WSC Sports & DAZN Win Big at 2022 Sports Technology Awards
May 1, 2022
The two companies win joint award in the category, ‘Best Technology for Communications and Storytelling’.
In early 2021 we developed ‘WSC Stories’, an end-to-end storytelling solution that automatically creates highlights in real-time as web stories that appear on Google OneBox, one of the most valuable pieces of Internet real estate. Because WSC Stories are on Google, rights holders’ content is more discoverable and accessible than ever before.
Developed with OTT providers in mind, WSC Stories are continuously updated as a match progresses, bringing fans directly into the match drama with a distinct call-to-action for fans, whether that be an app download, signup to watch the game or other paid opportunities.
This collaboration between DAZN and WSC Sports appears to be an important stepping stone in real-time short storytelling combined with an increase in SEO, as well as creatively solving the problem of human content editing.”
Leading OTT platform DAZN has been successfully leveraging WSC Stories to storytell and engage with football fans with up to the minute highlights, while also utilizing new monetization opportunities for its content and driving traffic to their owned and operated platforms.
Congratulations to all the winners of this year’s awards!
More recently, in 2024 WSC Sports scooped the award for Best Broadcast Technology and was inducted into the Sports Technology Hall of Fame.
In 2023, for the second consecutive year, WSC Sports was also ranked by the STA Group as the 16th most influential sports technology company in the world.
