NEW YORK - s4story -- FANZO, the tech platform that links brands, rights holders and broadcasters with fans who aren't watching games in arenas and stadia, today announced that it will officially launch with partners in North America.

Rolling out in time to support the millions of fans following the FIFA World Cup in North America, it follows successful proof of concept executions in the UK, Europe and Australasia, backed by $30 million investment in their tech product.

Solving the headache of sports rights fragmentation and audience measurement in out-of-home premises, their platform enables digital activation with fans at a national scale, wherever they are watching sports socially.

Trusted by 47,000 partner venues worldwide and used by six million sports fans last year outside North America, FANZO counts properties ranging from TNT Sports to World Rugby and Diageo as partners.

"Until now, reliably engaging the massive out-of-home audience has been impossible and has proved a hindrance to the commercial growth of sports as rights continue to fragment across different channels and platforms. FANZO has worked with global partners to solve this critical issue - simplifying broadcast for venues and helping fans watch games socially - opening up new possibilities for commercial growth in North America", said FANZO co-founder Leo MacLehose.

"Our mission is simple. We believe that sports experienced alone is meaningless. So we've built a digital platform that brings fans together to create unforgettable sporting memories in the world's best physical locations.
