As of October 3, 2023, sports marketing agency ByBP (8 FTE) and digital marketing agency Driivn (55 FTE) are joining forces with the launch of Goalden, a creative and Gen-Z focused sports marketing agency.
Driivn has acquired a 50% stake in ByBP, which is led by Olympians and former internationals Billy Bakker and Mirco Pruyser. The name 'Goalden' is intended to underscore not only the goal-oriented nature but also the background of the founders.
Goalden is positioned as a full-service sports marketing agency that helps brands, clubs, and federations achieve their goals through creative, digital, and results-oriented approaches. With a shared passion for sports and marketing, the founders of Goalden look forward to entering this new phase. 'Together, we can propel brands to unprecedented heights and appeal to Gen Z in a way that no one else can. By creating authentic connections and telling inspiring stories, we not only grow brands but also create a lasting impact on how brands and new generations interact,' says Mirco Pruyser.
Goalden, located on Vondelstraat in Amsterdam, has consisted of a team of 63 specialists since the joint venture.
