PHOENIX - April 9, 2020 - (Newswire.com)
PrestoSports, the leading all-in-one sports technology platform in college athletics, and From Now On, a leading provider of mobile apps in college athletics, today announced a strategic partnership to advance fan and student engagement through mobile communication.
Today’s college athletics departments are looking for new ways to deepen engagement with their mobile-first fans and students. FrontRowX will provide schools the power of school-branded FanX apps with data and content from the PrestoSports websites and streaming solutions. This new app will increase value to fans and ensure the latest news, video, and notifications about their favorite teams are always only a click away.
“Building our FrontRowX solution with a proven leader like From Now On has been a wonderful experience,” said Keith Womack, President of PrestoSports. “Sue Thaden and the entire team at From Now On are incredibly passionate about delivering amazing apps that engage fans, which aligns perfectly with our mission. This is a great partnership and we look forward to continued innovation and growth between our companies.”
FrontRowX will help schools create a more personalized experience for fans via a branded mobile app. A rich notification and promotional platform will increase fan engagement and revenue. This experience is further advanced by improving app performance, enhancing app content, and providing an affordable mobile solution to PrestoSports partners of all sizes.
“We really admire what Keith and the PrestoSports team have built, and also their vision for where they can expand to meet the growing needs around fan engagement in college athletics,” said From Now On founder CEO Sue Thaden. “Our team sees a really beautiful opportunity to make FrontRowX the go-to solution for fan engagement for PrestoSports schools at any level of the game who want to deepen their connection with fans and create a new revenue stream. We are ready to get FrontRowX in the hands of customers and help them Get it Great for their fans across the country.”
