We are excited to announce the next chapter in our ongoing relationship with Southampton Football Club. Building upon our successful partnership during the 2024-25 season, ThinkEngine has officially been named the first-ever Digital Partner of LEVEL1 powered by Pepsi Max.
As a leading digital marketing and tech agency based right here in Hampshire, it is a privilege to continue our work with a premier local sporting institution and bring our technical expertise to one of the most innovative entertainment venues on the South Coast.
What is LEVEL1 powered by Pepsi Max?
Located inside the iconic St Mary's Stadium, LEVEL1 powered by Pepsi Max is a massive 12,000-square-foot experiential social hub, sports bar, and activity arena. From augmented reality darts and high-speed racing simulators to physical high ropes and interactive golf bays, it is Southampton’s ultimate destination for competitive socialising.
Building the Digital Engine: A Custom Scoring Platform
For a highly immersive, tech-driven venue like LEVEL1 powered by Pepsi Max, seamless digital integration is vital to the guest experience. That is where ThinkEngine comes in.

Expanding on the foundations of our previous work with the club, this custom-coded software will underpin the interactive customer journey for team building packages and exclusive hire events at the venue.
