Lenovo x Newcastle United

Bringing the future of AI-powered fan engagement to St James' Park through immersive gaming, interactive retail and real-time audience insights.

Challenge

Newcastle United wanted to elevate the matchday experience, creating new ways for supporters to engage with the club while unlocking additional commercial opportunities.

In collaboration with Lenovo and Intel, the ambition was to introduce next-generation interactive technology that could entertain fans, showcase official merchandise and deliver measurable insights into audience engagement.

Response

We launched the LUX-75 interactive display from Invisionary Media, a division of Aircards Studio, at St James' Park, introducing two AI-powered fan experiences.

The Goalkeeper Challenge invited supporters to take on Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimarães in an immersive, gesture-controlled penalty-saving game.

Matchday Moment transformed the display into an interactive virtual try-on experience, allowing fans to see themselves wearing official Newcastle United kits and merchandise in real time.

Both experiences combined intuitive interaction with immersive technology, bringing entertainment and retail discovery together within the stadium.

Results

The initial VIP-area deployment achieved a 67% engagement rate among matchday attendees, with an average dwell time exceeding four minutes, measured through Metalitix.

Following the positive reception, the club is exploring opportunities to expand the interactive displays throughout the stadium, creating new possibilities for fan engagement and retail experiences.
