NFL games offer big opportunities to marketers, but national scale ads don’t always speak to all the league’s fans. Our platform can help you understand the audience behind the fandom, what they care about and what will resonate. Adweek called on us to do just that.

 

From the article: “Alex Lawson, senior research analyst at Helixa, pointed out that his company’s technology can focus on areas as small as individual cities or towns. It can see what beers and snacks fans like, what cars they’re into and how likely they are to take a hike that fall.”

Speaking of winners in the NFL, we think sports betting will continue capturing the hearts of fans. It would be a good bet to include that kind of data in the broadcast.

Our data on the Chiefs was expanded and spun out into an entire piece in Marketing Dive

 

They covered the rise of the team, the strategic decisions made by the team, and the things that the Chiefs audience cares about, based on Helixa data.

 

From the article: "It's really [about] understanding the motivations of why [fans] are engaging … and trying to connect those things and building that full picture of that audience," according to our VP of Marketing, Laia Pescetto.
