COMPETITION
INTELLIGENCE_

We help rights holders ignite the passion of fans and maximise commercial potential through evidence-based strategy, competition structure reform, and optimising scheduling.

Plateauing commercial rights are increasing the pressure on rights holders to differentiate their competitions. With fans’ attention at a premium, only competitions that truly connect with their audience will succeed in the long-term.

Our Intelligence Engine helps organisations understand how their competitions drive fans to watch, enabling format and scheduling changes to be informed by objectivity rather than hunch.
