Newcastle United have appointed BlueprintX to support a wide-ranging transformation of their data, customer relationship management and marketing technology infrastructure. The project will focus on integrating and optimising the club’s technology stack to create a more unified view of supporters and commercial partners, with the aim of driving revenue growth and improving fan engagement.A Newcastle United spokesperson said: “We are committed to delivering world-class experiences for our supporters and partners, both on and off the pitch.
