More brand awareness through PSV and Heroes
Anycoin Direct builds its brand with sports
partnerships
Customer-friendliest player
Anycoin Direct was founded in 2013 by three Dutch friends. They wanted to buy Bitcoin, but despite their IT background, that proved easier said than done. So they came up with the idea of creating their own crypto platform. Together, they built Bitplaats, a cryptocurrency exchange with a strong emphasis on service. Their platform quickly became a success, appreciated for its clear explanations and quick, helpful support when questions arise.
In 2014, the founders decided to change the name of their platform to Anycoin Direct, with the intention of expanding the market to the rest of Europe. This was a hit. By 2019, Anycoin Direct had as many as 400,000 users and quickly grew into one of the leading players in the German market. The goal of becoming the most customer-friendly crypto platform was successfully achieved. This is evidenced by its impressive collection of more than 14,000 reviews on Trustpilot, with an average rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars.
Top ranking
Although Anycoin Direct is deeply rooted in the Netherlands and has achieved success across Europe, it has not yet reached the top spot when it comes to the number of users in the Netherlands. To change this, the company has formed strategic partnerships with PSV and Heroes Den Bosch. Sports marketing has proven for years to be an effective method of increasing brand awareness. When you combine this with the global trend of crypto and sports coming together, it creates a powerful synergy.
Partnership PSV
As one of the biggest Dutch football clubs, PSV has a broad target audience. Anycoin Direct took advantage of this by being visible at matches. But visibility alone won't get you there. To take the sponsorship to the next level, Anycoin Direct partnered with Capital Sports, Capital Advertising's sports label. As specialists in sports marketing, we helped the crypto platform play out their partnership with PSV. Thus, fans of the football club also became fans of Anycoin Direct.
Heroes Den Bosch partnership
Anycoin Direct has been an official premium partner of Heroes Den Bosch since the 2021-2022 season. The Veghel-based cryptobroker paid out the sponsorship amount in Bitcoin. That made Heroes the first basketball team in Europe with such a unique deal. Fans of Heroes Den Bosch will see Anycoin Direct in various places during and around the club's games. For instance, the cryptobroker's logo appears on the official match shorts of both the away and home jerseys and the presence of Anycoin Direct makes the crowd cheer extra loud on three-pointers.
Close cooperation
But even outside sports marketing, Capital Advertising works closely with the marketers of Anycoin Direct. For both online and offline, we create informative and attractive marketing and communication materials, which we use to effectively target the right audience. We are constantly looking for innovative applications to spread the message of Anycoin Direct and the crypto platform's USPs and increase customer engagement.
