How we help
Informing and inspiring brands to make better decisions
Combining deep sector expertise with local knowledge to provide you with a deep understanding of your industry.
Data at your fingertips. Instant intelligence about your market, brand & customers.
A study of consumer passion and brand devotion.
Are you ready to move your thinking or your business forward?
Competition within the sport and leisure industry is hot. Brands jostle to maximise sponsorship opportunities. They race to optimise participation rates. And they go the extra mile to enhance the experiences of those watching.
The type of sport market research project all depends on your audience and the issues you’re examining.
We can use our direct access panels to research nationally representative samples. We can use smaller groups to investigate attitudes and behaviours towards specific sports, brands or events. We can ensure sponsorship agreements work hard to generate true value for all involved.
Interested in promoting female sport? Us too. We want to drive participation. Boost viewing figures. And promote inclusivity, fairness, and cultural security for female athletes. Our cultural health research – from elite level to grass root participants – ensures organisations offer an inclusive, safe environment for all.
Conducting research with hard to reach and vulnerable groups is an area of expertise for us. Let’s face it, everyone should be looking to ensure an inclusive, optimised offer. So, understanding the views of minority groups with very specific needs and wants from sport and leisure providers is vital. From conducting qualitative research through to targeted ad-hoc and “always on” research programmes, offering appropriate opportunities for all is something we’re passionate about.
It’s vitally important to look at data within the competitive context to understand how you are seen by participants, visitors and viewers. And how well you are competing for that all important leisure spend – money and time.
The media is constantly reporting on sporting bodies and organisations that have issues with their cultural health. This can have a massive impact on the health and wellbeing of participants, and knock-on effects on brand perceptions. It’s no good dealing with problems when they come to light. Too late. Research programmes are needed to identify the early stages of cultural health issues and provide opportunities to ensure localised issues don’t develop into systematic problems.
Sponsorship investments are huge. Fast insight into the impact within a wider marketing campaign will help you understand how to optimise ROI across all channels. It’s important for the brand, but also for sports and broadcasters to maximise revenues. If you’re looking for an experienced partner to help you measure return, brand awareness and behavioural change, pick us for your team!
How are you performing for those visiting your sports event, and what can be done to improve this experience? Capturing insights from visitors can yield pure magic in the form of brand advocates, as well as increased revenue. Our visitor surveys help build customer experience programmes that generate great experiences, repeat visits and advocacy.












"Any business needs to outpace its competitors and accelerate delivery of insights which can be used to grow performance and value. Virtually all customer-facing initiatives have been formed using this unique approach to customer tracking and subsequent performance analysis. The member trackers have given us an invaluable tool for assessing what our customers actually want, not what we think they want.”
“As a not-for-profit organisation, every pound counts, so it’s absolutely vital we get the most out of our ads to maximise their impact, with the media budget available. We already had a strong ad but what I found really useful about the approach was knowing which elements were working harder for us and why, and which parts less so – all of which helped inform what changes were required to really cut-through.”
