ByBP and Driivn launch sports marketing agency Goalden

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.
