Changing the Game.
The Clean Sheet, episode 1: Saving the Rain.It wasn’t enough to start an NHL franchise. The Seattle Kraken wanted to make a real difference in the world by building the world’s most sustainable arena. A big idea that spawned thousands of projects that included recycling both the existing architecture and Seattle’s legendary rainfall in a unique and unprecedented way. See how they did it.
A Dynamic Partnership
Climate Pledge Arena is home to the Seattle Kraken, the NHL's 32nd club, given life by 32,000 fans. The Seattle Kraken were tasked with building a brand from the ground up, promoting a new sports franchise, and rekindling the love of the game for the long overdue return of professional hockey to the Pacific Northwest. Instead of spreadsheets, emails, and phone calls, they needed a more efficient way to build world-class work management solutions to keep their teams organized, accountable and empowered on one dynamic, secure platform.
