WHERE WOMEN POWER FOOTBALL

Welcome to This Fan Girl

We’re an independant creative consultancy helping women shape the future of football, sport and culture.

For the last 10 years, This Fan Girl has built trusted relationships across football giving us access to fans, communities, specialists and elite talent.

We’ve always believed the people who experience football should have a say in what it becomes. Our network of fans helps make sure more of those voices are part of the conversations and decisions shaping the game.

Core Services

Our three core services are built around what we do best: understanding women and fans, making sense of culture and helping organisations act on it.

Research & Insights

We investigate the questions shaping football, sport and the lives of women today. Our approach combines ethnographic research with deep access to the people inside these worlds. We can get closer to fans, communities, industry experts and elite talent to uncover what’s happening beneath the surface, underpinned by our FAN NETWORK and social audiences.

Photo Licensing

Our archive is open for licensing. Built by working with women in football documenting female fans and women’s football culture, our image licensing offering brings together real photography of the people, and the passion for the game.

Consultancy

We bring a tuned-in perspective on football, female audiences and women’s culture to help teams make better decisions. From joining for a knowledge share, to working alongside you across a whole campaign, we help teams keep ideas connected to the people they’re for.

Creative

Creative has been at the heart of This Fan Girl since 2016 - but it means more than just content. We bring our embedded understanding of the game, our access to incredible football talent and knowledge of what fans want to see to bring you real creative solutions that connect.

Fan Network

We’ve built a global community of fans to bring everyone closer to the game we love. Our FAN NETWORK of 1500+ members gives us fast, reliable access to real insight, uncovering perspectives you won’t find anywhere else.
