LONDON, March 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SmartFrame Technologies, a leading UK-based tech provider redefining the digital image standard, has today announced that Brentford FC is the latest sports organization to implement its revolutionary streaming technology for its official images.
Images captured at Brentford FC games and other official events will be published online in the new Brentford FC Official Photography Library. These images and their associated rights will be fully owned by Brentford FC, providing maximum control and unlocking commercialization opportunities. They will also be made available to publishing partners at no cost, with both parties entitled to a share of revenues from advertising that is occasionally displayed in these images.
Today's announcement sees Brentford FC become the third Premier League club to adopt SmartFrame's technology, following Manchester City FC and Everton FC. Other prominent sports organizations now using SmartFrame's platform for their official image libraries include New Zealand Rugby and Six Nations Rugby. These collections are part of more than 660 million images that SmartFrame makes available in its proprietary format, sourced from a range of content partners worldwide.
Fran Jones, Commercial Director of Brentford FC, said: "At Brentford FC, a forward-thinking approach and innovation are a part of our DNA. We're pleased to be partnering with SmartFrame, who align so well with us on these values. Our partnership will give us access to their advanced technology for documenting and sharing our moments both on and off the field. We look forward to collaborating with SmartFrame and transforming the way we present and licence the club's imagery going forward."
James Prosser, Global Sports Director of SmartFrame Technologies, said: "It gives me great pleasure to welcome Brentford FC to the SmartFrame family. We have already built a strong rapport with the club's commercial team over the past few months, and their positivity and openness have made it clear that we share many common values. As more high-profile organizations join us, we move closer to our goal of revolutionizing online image publishing and commercialization."
