Partnership Case Study: PensionBee

How we grow our partners into household names

PensionBee Goal

Football can raise the game for your brand awareness.

We can bring your brand to market at a level of commitment that meets your goals. And when you’re confident in our journey together, we’ll work with you to explore the unlimited potential of a Brentford FC partnership.

PensionBee: A partnership that has grown through the years

PensionBee: A Partnership that has grown over the years

We worked with PensionBee to introduce their game-changing fintech brand to an untapped market of football fans.

Our partnership started with an initial package of visibility on matchdays and access to players. Through collaboration and saying yes to new ideas, PensionBee have grown into one of our principal partners, becoming the sleeve sponsor for our Men’s First-team and the front-of-shirt sponsor for our Women’s teams.

“In everything we do together, you can see a challenger mentality shining through. A family-orientated, community-focused club that aims to be the most inclusive in the Premier League, Brentford aligns with our values.”

Our work

Plan Bee

A partnership with Brentford can allow you to produce content with players. PensionBee’s Plan Bee series invited three of our Men’s first-team players to discuss how they’re planning for life after football.

Whether you want to educate or influence, player-led content makes your messages accessible and authentic, with a global reach.

Premier League viewership consistently surpasses millions.

Putting women's football in the spotlight

With interest in women’s football skyrocketing, PensionBee’s core mission in fighting for gender equality in pensions made them the ideal candidate to sponsor our Women’s teams’ kits.

PensionBee are also inspiring the next generation of female leaders. CEO, Romi Savova, delivered a female leadership talk to the Women’s players at the Robert Rowan Performance Centre on the week that the team cruised to a 6-1 victory at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Partnerships that make fans' dreams come true

Create experiences that fans will never forget. PensionBee gave ten lucky Bees fans a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit the training ground and meet their favourite players face-to-face.

Looking forward

PensionBee has exciting plans for the 24/25 season, including the opening of their New York offices. As they grow, a partnership with Brentford can have an impact across other parts of the business – from access to new audiences, to using matchdays and club experiences in customer rewards and business development activity.

“With Brentford FC, we started with a relatively small budget, gradually increasing our commitment when we saw traction with our activity. As we became more ‘Brentford Confident’ we were able to commit to more. The Brentford Commercial team has been crucial in being inventive, flexible and willing to look at new ways to work.”

Jasper Martens, PensionBee

“We’ve been able to grow this partnership because PensionBee take full advantage of everything that Brentford has to offer. What started with signage on matchday has become a presence in all corners of the business, in our community and online, all because they keep saying “yes”.”
