Lightmaker win contract to develop the new R&A digital platform

Nov. 30, 2009 - PRLog -- Lightmaker has been working hard in the sports market for a number of years, focussing more recently in broadening our footprint beyond football, tennis and soccer.

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve secured a long term partnership with The R&A at St Andrews to redevelop their digital platform over the coming months and years.

Based in St. Andrews, Scotland, the R&A is golf’s governing body and organiser of The Open Championship. The R&A is committed to working for golf and operates with the consent of 136 countries from the amateur and professional game, and on behalf of over 30 million golfers in 123 countries.

The aim of the new digital platform will be to maximize the profile of The Open Championship and to consolidate the vast amounts of data the R&A holds. We’re also delivering brand integrity and ensuring the plethora of activities and responsibilities the R&A undertakes each year are fully understood, they are quite simply a unique organisation and we look forward to telling the story.

Golf is a passion close to our hearts here and we’re looking forward to working closely with the world governing body and organisers of The Open Championship, and the many trips we’ll need to make to the home of golf.
