Grow, Engage, and Reward
Case Study: German Handball Federation
The Approach: Build, engage, and reward the community
The German Handball Federation (DHB) does a lot of things right. One of which is cultivating a passionate fan base. When they launched their handball.net app, it was their entry into creating a digital ecosystem for German handball fans to connect and grow together.
Our project with them has been another step in their already fantastic efforts of growing their fan base and sport. They were seeking a way to maximize the engagement on the platform around EHF EURO 2024 and to win new sers for handball.net.
Enter Handball.net Allstars: a new Unyfy-based, gamified digital collectibles experience for handball fans.

The Goals
Drive more registrations for handball.net, the federations content platform
Increase user retention and activity
Enrich handball.net with more engagement and community capabilities
Giving fans more reasons to create accounts
Another goal of DHB is to learn more about the handball fans. To that end, Handball.net Allstars combined various features like polls and votes to create an engaging experience for handball fans. In doing so, DHB was able to convert a significant part of the existing handball community to Handball.net Allstars in the first 3 weeks after its launch.
Handball.net Allstars also put Unyfy’s “Refer a Friend” feature to good use. 30+% of all registrations have come from users inviting friends.
