Company mission
To create bespoke digital experiences supported by our purpose built products, powering some of the most respected brands in sport.
45% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
For modern sports fans, the virtual match-day experience has become as important as physically attending a game, but traditional TV broadcasts do not deliver the level of engagement they want or expect. As more and more people turn to complimentary media, such as chat services or podcasts, in order to get this engagement, Stadion is here to empower sports brands to heighten digital fan experiences by delivering their own in-depth, real-time commentary, statistics, and more.
Stadion's high-performance digital products encompass live data sharing, journalist management, social embeds, and shopping services (among other capabilities), all operating atop a central publishing platform. Through this, the company is able to supply bespoke digital experiences for any brand's needs, granting them the ability to serve a wide range of sports industry leaders and niches. The company has some impressive clients, including the likes of Manchester City FC and Team GB, which certainly suggests it is one to watch as it develops further.

The work being carried out at Stadion is both exciting and innovative with it actually meeting new industry needs that are not currently available to the sport industry. This means that often the work has never been done before and therefore requires staff to be innovative to create new solutions for technical challenges that haven't been solved before

Stadion is a really flexible working environment. As long as the work gets done, that's the most important thing. We have an office that can be used, but it's completely optional.

I am undoubtedly working with the smartest team I've ever been in. The knowledge and skills across the departments at Stadion is truly impressive. If I don't know the answer to something, I guarantee somebody else in the company does, or at least has some experience in the area.
