"Our fans have been faithfully cheering us on for decades, so we wanted to find a new and exciting way to interact with them, both inside and outside the stadium," said Nicoletta Ruhl, business development manager for the San Diego Chargers. "Mobile is the ideal platform to engage fans on a personal level while also ensuring that they have complete control of the type of content updates they receive on their device. We believe mobile engagement is the next step in the ever-growing digital landscape, and this campaign allows us to take our relationship with our fans to the next level."

Vibes is working with the Chargers to offer its fans an interactive mobile experience, even during the off-season. Fans who sign up have the choice to receive relevant team news, recaps, photos and game and player updates, including scores, statistics and player injuries, directly on their mobile phones. Fans can join the mobile program by texting CHARGERS to 48307 and will instantly begin to receive all team and news-related Chargers alerts.

"Sports fans are consistently turning to their mobile devices for real-time updates about their favorite teams and players," said Jack Philbin, Vibes co-founder, president and CEO. "With this campaign, the San Diego Chargers are creating a steady, consistent dialogue with their fans—a touchdown for any brand—to keep them engaged and informed year-round."
