How upGrowth Designed a Winning Go-To-Market & Growth Strategy for RCB Hustle

About story
RCB Hustle Story

RCB Hustle is an innovative fitness initiative by Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), aimed at uniting fitness enthusiasts through high-energy workouts, challenges, and digital engagement.

By blending sports culture with fitness, RCB Hustle sought to build a loyal community of fitness lovers and fans of the franchise.

While RCB Hustle had a strong brand association with the IPL team, it required a robust Go-To-Market (GTM) Strategy and a Scalable Growth Strategy to enhance user engagement, increase sign-ups, and establish itself as a dominant player in the digital fitness ecosystem.

Identified Challenges

Despite having a strong brand name, RCB Hustle faced several key challenges in its market entry and growth:

Lack of Market Positioning: Needed clear differentiation in the competitive online fitness space.

Building Awareness Beyond Cricket Fans: While RCB had a massive following, Hustle needed to attract fitness enthusiasts beyond cricket fans.

Digital-First User Acquisition: The brand needed a data-driven strategy to drive digital sign-ups and subscriptions.

Retention & Engagement: Encouraging users to stay engaged and participate in challenges regularly.
