Knighthead Capital & Birmingham City FC

Igniting passions for sports innovation

The Challenge

Rallying excitement for game-changing sports plans

The Solution

Following the acquisition of the necessary land from Birmingham City Council, a fully integrated strategy was needed. This involved a live media announcement at the Sports Accord conference as well as a press conference at the football club including broadcasters from BBC News, Sky Sports News and ITV. Tailored written and in-person briefings were also provided to key local and political stakeholders.
