How Fan 360 redefines the sports landscape

Your opportunity to create a loyal fanbase is locked behind disparate data silos. It’s time to call an audible.
January 22, 2024

At the core of every successful sports organization sits its competitive advantage – the data of its fans. This wealth of information holds the key to unlocking a personalized, engaging and revenue-generating fan experience. But not while it’s stuck in disparate and scattered silos.

Enter Fan 360, a comprehensive approach to insights that involves combining and transforming raw data into a real-time, 360-degree view of your fans.

Why build a Fan 360?

Turning fans into superfans requires connecting with them in a personalized, meaningful manner.

From your concession cravings to the player you idolize — connecting with fans requires understanding their interactions. By centralizing data from ticketing platforms, loyalty programs, social media interactions and even stadium purchases, a holistic picture of each fan emerges.

This comprehensive Fan 360 profile becomes the paintbrush with which organizations can craft bespoke experiences, fostering emotional loyalty and driving significant ROI. Armed with a detailed understanding of individual preferences, teams can craft targeted campaigns that resonate on a deeper level.

Imagine receiving pregame emails with exclusive offers on your favorite player's merchandise, or arriving at the stadium to find a personalized concession voucher awaiting you. These seemingly small gestures hold the power to forge lasting connections, transforming casual fans into passionate advocates.

Why centralization is critical for Fan 360

The journey to a data-driven fan experience begins with breaking down data silos.

The various and scattered data sources generated by fans create a deceptively complex engineering problem for data teams looking to build a comprehensive, real-time view. It involves designing new architecture, provisioning the right computing and storage resources, ensuring timely performance updates, building resistance against failure and more.

As a result, do-it-yourself (DIY) pipelines or legacy solutions make Fan 360 a complex undertaking that demands considerable investment in time, labor and money.

Modern data stack platforms like Fivetran and Snowflake expedite this process, centralizing data more efficiently and effectively to help data teams get insights faster. Time spent building and working to upkeep integrations is instead reallocated to the process of creating a Fan 360.

The Denver Broncos serve as a testament to leveraging this modern data stack to unlock the power of Fan 360. By leveraging this modern, data-driven approach, they saved 20+ hours a week in data management and unlocked faster, real-time data access to fuel their sell-out streak.

The future of Fan 360

While a Fan 360 view is already valuable, by centralizing fan data and modernizing your infrastructure — you’re setting your organization up for more innovative uses of data to impact the fan experience.

Predictive analytics algorithms, for example, can help anticipate fan behavior with uncanny accuracy, allowing organizations to tailor promotions and content delivery at unrivaled speeds. Chatbots infused with natural language processing will provide personalized interactions, offering instant support and enriching the game-day experience. And the learning never stops, as leveraging AI to continuously adapt to evolving fan preferences will ensure that engagement strategies remain razor-sharp and eternally relevant.

That’s only possible with centralized and easy-to-use fan data. So, call the audible and undertake the process of building a Fan 360.

In the realm of sports — data is more than just numbers — it’s the ultimate competitive advantage to build a loyal, passionate fanbase.
