Sports Research Capabilities
We bring expertise in fan behavior, sports marketing, and experience research to help sports properties and sponsors make data-driven decisions that build fan loyalty and drive revenue.
Fan Engagement Research
Understanding what drives fan passion, loyalty, and engagement across sports properties. We study fan behavior, emotional attachment, consumption patterns, and engagement preferences across in-venue, broadcast, streaming, and social media channels to help teams, leagues, and media rights holders build deeper connections with their fan base.
Sponsorship Research & ROI
Measuring sponsorship effectiveness and return on investment for brands, teams, and properties. We evaluate sponsor awareness, brand association, fan sentiment, purchase influence, and activation effectiveness. Our sponsorship research helps brands optimize their sports marketing investments and properties demonstrate value to current and prospective sponsors.
Venue Experience Research
Evaluating the in-venue fan experience across stadiums, arenas, and entertainment venues. We study ticketing and entry, concessions, seating, cleanliness, safety, staff interaction, and entertainment elements to identify the experience improvements that drive attendance, spending, and repeat visits.
Team & League Brand Research
Measuring team and league brand health including awareness, affinity, differentiation, and the brand attributes that drive fan loyalty. We track brand perception among current fans, casual fans, and non-fans to identify growth opportunities and assess the impact of on-field performance, marketing, and community engagement on brand health.
Media & Content Research
Research supporting sports media strategy including broadcast viewership, streaming behavior, social media engagement, and content preferences. We study how fans consume sports content across platforms and the content formats, programming, and features that drive audience engagement and media value.
Ticket & Revenue Research
Research that supports ticket pricing, package design, premium seating strategy, and revenue optimization. We study price sensitivity, season ticket holder satisfaction, single-game purchase behavior, group and corporate hospitality preferences, and the factors that influence ticket purchase and renewal decisions.
Hispanic Fan Research
Hispanic fans represent the fastest-growing segment in U.S. sports. Their passion, family-oriented fandom, and growing buying power make them a critical audience for teams, leagues, and sponsors seeking growth. Understanding Hispanic fan behavior requires cultural expertise and bilingual research capabilities.
Our bilingual team conducts sports research with Hispanic fans across sports and acculturation levels, studying fandom development, media consumption, in-venue behavior, merchandise purchase patterns, and the cultural dimensions of Hispanic sports engagement.
