A enjoyable state of affairs this week… just a few of my children’ mates advised me they wish to costume up as Fansville characters for Halloween. After 9 seasons of Fansville, that one struck me.

I’ve been extremely lucky to assist form and construct Fansville alongside some gifted artistic minds from the very starting. And seeing it present up in locations like Halloween costumes and tailgates is a pleasant reminder of what we’ve at all times hoped to do: not promote in school soccer followers, however perceive them, rejoice them and construct alongside the tradition they create.

Over time, Fansville has helped Dr Pepper earn a spot within the irrational tradition of school soccer fandom. That’s a fairly particular factor to have been a part of.

It additionally makes me grateful for all of the individuals who constructed it alongside the best way. Our wonderful companions at Deutsch, Publicis Groupe, Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. and a tremendous model group led by Brad Rakes. But I wish to give particular recognition to a number of the greatest and brightest people I’ve had the pleasure of working with who helped lay the inspiration in these early years, together with Ryan Lehr, Rob Sender, Mitch Polatin, Adam Graves, and Morgan Aceino. I’ll at all times keep in mind the early lock-ins, discussions, and two-chardonnay conferences.
