Portland Timbers RCTID Case Study
Portland Timbers Branding

Connecting Fans With the
Franchise they Love

Not many sports franchises invite fans to come in and swing an axe around. Then again, not many sports franchises are as beloved as the Portland Timbers of Major League Soccer. To reward their support, passion, and definition of fanaticism, the Timbers created a one of a kind fan photo experience, bringing the Timber’s army out of the stands and in front of the lens.

"We've had the pleasure of working with Harlo on a few different projects and have always had a wonderful experience partnering with their team. Our most recent initiative – a microsite to celebrate the Timbers 10th year in MLS – was no different. Harlo is collaborative, creative and detailed-oriented – they always put their client and the work first."
