In-house Community Project · 1st Anniversary

From a local tournament to a brand experience.

PickleChill's first anniversary was not treated as a normal sports event — it was turned into a brand-led community campaign with its own identity, digital ecosystem and on-ground experience.

The Context

An anniversary built around community, participation and recall.

PickleChill is a local pickleball community in Batu Pahat. The club wanted its first anniversary to grow awareness, strengthen community identity, give sponsors stronger visibility, and feel more memorable than a typical tournament schedule.

Connected System Flow

One participant journey — not a collection of separate pages.

Registration, team formation, public prediction, gameplay and live scoring were designed as a connected event journey, so every touchpoint moved participants toward the next part of the experience.

01RegistrationParticipants entered through a dedicated event registration flow.
02Player Number / DrawRegistration moved into player allocation and team draw preparation.
03Team BoardPlayers and audiences could see the team lineup before event day.
04Champion PredictionPublic voting added anticipation and participation before the first match.
05Chaos CardsA signature gameplay mechanic made the tournament more interactive.
06LiveScoreLive match progress and rankings became part of the event experience.
07Feedback & AnalyticsPost-event response and website activity closed the learning loop.

The value was not any single feature. It was the coordinated journey across registration, participation, live experience and post-event learning.

The Campaign Play

We turned the anniversary into a connected event system.

Instead of building only an event page, we designed the campaign around four layers: brand recall, public participation, sponsor activation and post-event learning.

Play #1 · Brand the Moment

Make the event feel like PickleChill, not just a tournament.

The campaign reinforced a simple, memorable hook that captures the club’s identity: competitive enough to be exciting, relaxed enough to feel community-driven.

  • Event positioning and campaign tone
  • “Pickle Together, Chill Together” / “一起 Pickle,一起 Chill”
  • Visual direction for website, content and event atmosphere
Play #2 · Turn Visitors into Participants

Add digital interaction before the event begins.

The website was designed as an event hub, not a static notice board. Visitors could register, view teams, understand game mechanics and take part in prediction voting.

  • Registration flow and event information hub
  • Team Board and Champion Prediction Voting
  • Lucky draw and public anticipation mechanics
Play #3 · Create Live Energy

Make the actual event more memorable on-ground.

Chaos Cards, LiveScore, event theme song and physical branding were used to make the tournament feel like a signature PickleChill experience.

  • Chaos Cards rules, gameplay presentation and explanation video
  • Backdrop, banners, event shirt, medal and decoration direction
  • Theme song, Sonic Hook and on-ground brand atmosphere
Play #4 · Activate & Extend

Connect sponsor value, media capture and post-event learning.

The event was designed to support sponsor presence on the day while also creating content and feedback data for future community growth.

  • Mitsubishi roadshow and sponsor touchpoint integration
  • Videographer and photographer support for event documentation
  • Feedback form and analytics review for campaign learning
In Action

The system behind the experience.

The strongest proof was not only the event-day atmosphere. Registration, team visibility, prediction and LiveScore showed how the digital system supported the participant journey from before the event through live play.

Experience on the day

Delivery connected event identity, registration, player and team presentation, public prediction, Chaos Cards, LiveScore, sponsor activation, event collateral, content production, WhatsApp communication and feedback analytics into one coordinated campaign experience.

Outcome

The connected event journey created attention before event day — and a loop for post-event learning.

During the measured campaign period, participants moved across registration, event details, team lineup, champion prediction and Chaos Cards content, while LiveScore, feedback collection and media documentation extended the experience through and after event day.

18hRegistration filled within 18 hours after launch.
423Active users during the measured period.
14KTracked website events, not unique participants.
7m 07sAverage engagement time per active user.

Figures refer to the original campaign reporting period. Website events count recorded interactions and may include several actions by the same visitor; they are not attendance or reach totals.

Reach beyond the immediate local circle.

Traffic came not only from Batu Pahat, but also from several other Malaysian cities, showing wider campaign exposure beyond the core playing group.
