How DAZN humanized digital sales and boosted retention with Konecta

Global sports streaming leader DAZN needed to humanize its digital sales and improve customer retention in Spain. By partnering with Konecta to blend advanced technology with expert human support, DAZN successfully eliminated sales barriers and dramatically boosted its subscriber retention. 

About the client in short

DAZN is a premier global sports streaming platform with a robust technological foundation, leveraging cloud solutions and artificial intelligence. Known for its interactive and vibrant broadcasting style, DAZN holds a leading market position, offering diverse content ranging from motorsports and football to basketball and American sports. Having successfully broadcasted the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Spain, DAZN continues to deliver a comprehensive, highly engaging, and customer-centric experience for sports fans worldwide.

Operating in a highly dynamic sector marked by rapid technological evolution, DAZN required operational agility to react to and anticipate market movements. While possessing a strong digital ecosystem and multi-server cloud architectures, DAZN identified a critical gap in the Spanish market: a purely digital sales process was alienating certain customer segments. 

To successfully scale their ambitious growth strategy - which includes newly integrated sports packages and exclusive broadcasting rights for the 2026 FIFA World Cup - they needed to eliminate these technological barriers. 

The core challenge was to humanize the customer journey without losing the efficiency of their digital-first model, ensuring that every user felt valued and successfully guided through the acquisition and retention phases, as well as the cancellation process.

Konecta stepped in as a proactive consultant and strategic partner to bridge the gap between DAZN’s advanced technology and the end-user. Aligning with DAZN’s global governance model and customer-centric ethos, Konecta introduced specialized telephone support via an expert team based in Valladolid, Spain. This was complemented by a dedicated customer loyalty service located in Morocco, where agents assist and support customers navigating the cancellation process.


This approach transformed the digital sales journey into an assisted, human-led experience. Konecta’s agents functioned not just as support agents, but as expert guides assisting users in their purchasing decisions. The team integrated seamlessly with DAZN’s internal tools and AI-driven pre-consultation processes, continuously providing improvement proposals and sharing successful cross-sector trends to optimize contact and sales channels.

The collaboration yielded a significant improvement in customer retention, ensuring subscribers stayed for the right reasons. By deploying human advisors to complement DAZN's digital channels, Konecta successfully eliminated the technological barriers that previously hindered customer acquisition in Spain. 

The relationship fundamentally evolved from a standard transactional model into a high-value partnership of trust. DAZN now leverages Konecta’s global knowledge pool to optimize its sales and contact channels continuously. 

By successfully blending expert human connection with DAZN’s technological lifeblood, the joint operation has established a scalable, inclusive, and highly agile customer experience ready to support massive events like the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
