The Women's Game Plan: 2013/14 W-League
1. The Women’s Game
Content & Communication Plan
2013/14 W-League Season
Executive Summary
Overview
The Women’s Game is Australia's independent leading source of women's football news
focusing on the Matildas, the WLeague and Australians playing abroad.
The aim of our content and communications strategy is to develop and facilitate conversations
with our key audiences, to provide them with an online community and to give them the tools to
engage with us, players, clubs and each other around the 2013/14 WLeague season.
The strategy will assist in our longterm objectives:
●
●
foster and support the promotion of women's football in Australia
foster a positive, inclusive and respectful women's football family
Who are The Women’s Game?
The Women's Game is a notforprofit incorporated association run by a dedicated team of
volunteers.
The Women’s Game is a digital content producer and the first online community in Australia
dedicated to women’s football. Our properties consist of thewomensgame.com website, several
key social media assets including a Twitter account, Facebook page, YouTube channel,
Instagram account, Tumblr blog and an iTunes podcast.
Through these various properties, The Women's Game generates and distributes original
content in relation to the Matildas, the WLeague and Australians playing abroad (collectively:
Australian women's football).
Our content consists of:
●
Written: regular news articles, features, match analysis, opinion pieces as well as player
and guest blogs on relevant issues
● Video: features and interviews with key identities in Australian women's football

3. The Women’s Football Family
This section of a strategy would normally consist of an analysis of competitors and the best way
to counter their offerings.
At The Women’s Game, we don’t consider ourselves to be in competition with others who also
promote and support women’s football. We look for ways to work together to the benefit of fans,
players, clubs and the game as a whole.
The aim of this approach is to:
●
●
●
●
Amplify the voices speaking in support of the women’s game
Act as an advocate for positive change for the image of women’s football
Assist in elevating the profile of the Australian women’s football locally and abroad
Engage with members of the football family to find solutions to the key issues facing
women’s football
● Capitalise on the growing support for women in sport
● Convert online support into match day attendance
The women’s football family is a strong, vibrant community with existing networks and
communications channels, particularly online.
These relationships are to be leveraged to reach identified audiences who have yet to engage
with elite women’s football.
