MOJO Sports Named One of Fast Company’s Brands That Matter

LOS ANGELES, California (October 25, 2022) – MOJO, the award-winning youth sports app and platform, has been recognized by Fast Company in their second annual Brands That Matter list, in the sports category. MOJO joins previous winners such as Nike, Masterclass and XBox as a brand that communicates and demonstrates exceptional brand purpose through cultural impact and social engagement, and that has authentically communicated its missions and ideals.

“MOJO is honored to be named one of Fast Company’s Brands that Matter,” said Ben Sherwood, founder and CEO of MOJO. “This recognition reinforces what we at MOJO have always believed — that youth sports matter. At a time when too many kids and families are dropping out, or missing out, on the benefits of sports, MOJO is here to bring back the fun and games, and to grow youth sports from the grassroots up.”    

MOJO’s mission is to reinvent youth sports for 25 million kids in the US and 500 million around the world who play recreationally — and to level the playing field by making youth sports accessible for all kids. Since launching in February 2021, MOJO has served more than 400,000 teams and 4 million kids and families offering easy-to-use team management and communication tools and high-quality coaching resources, backed by world-class teams and leagues like the NBA, MLB, NFL FLAG and FC Barcelona.

Company data show that MOJO also matters to the people who matter most in youth sports — the kids and families that power grassroots programs across the country.

• 8 out of 10 parents say they are more willing to coach youth sports after using the MOJO app
• Coaches who use the MOJO app for a whole season are 6X more likely to return to coach the next season  than ones who don’t  
• 96% of coaches reported their players had more fun with MOJO practices than any other previous season

“This year, we’ve expanded the Brands That Matter program to evaluate honorees in the context of how they matter within the category in which they compete for people’s attention or loyalty. The result is a wide-ranging list of honorees that are making their mark on culture, and through social impact,” said Brendan Vaughan, Fast Company’s editor-in-chief. 

Fast Company editors judged each brand on relevancy, cultural impact, ingenuity, and business impact to compile the list.

The final list, which includes large multinational conglomerates, small-but-mighty companies, and nonprofits, recognizes 145 brands that have found an ability to forge an emotional connection with customers.
