Digital Playbooks LLC and TeamLync Europe combine service offerings to include integration of TeamLync's sports app technology for tablets and mobile devices
Erik Lindstrøm & Michael Rojkind join the Digital Playbooks team as creative consultants

Baltimore/Oslo — November 1, 2012 — TeamLync Europe, developers of the TeamLync Sports App for iPad, has partnered with Digital Playbooks, LLC, a leading interactive agency specializing in sports team playbook management and player engagement across multiple teams leagues across the US, Europe and Australia.
The newly established partnership allows TeamLync to join forces with the Digital Playbooks team and merge service offerings for current and future customers. The TeamLync App is a social networking platform for players and coaches in European sports leagues to communicate and collaborate in a secure forum. Built for Apple's iOS platform, TeamLync consolidates a team's daily operations and weekly gameplans, enabling players to collaborate with one another and enhance the learning experience from week to week, game to game.
"This was the perfect opportunity for both Digital Playbooks and TeamLync to join forces and combine features from both of our product suites. Michael and I are more focused on development and UX strategy, so now that our technology will be bundled under the Digital Playbooks brand umbrella, we can instead focus on building new B2B applications" says Lindstrøm.
"TeamLync perfected a clever new tool that we just had to have as part of our iPad App suite. Their FileLync module is so cool, we had to find a way to integrate it with our Digital Playbook™ suite. We look forward to integrating the TeamLync technology into our current app and as an add-on to our Player Roster interface," added Nicolas Zewe.
With a product suite focused on providing secure communication and digital asset management for players and their coaches, the TeamLync App has been the premiere collaboration tool for European soccer and rugby clubs. Lindstrøm & Rojkind are in the process of developing similar digital platforms for other industries, including financial services, travel & tourism and corporate communications. They will hold joint roles as creative consultants through 2014.
