Takeaways

  1. The value opportunity for brands is no longer just the number of eyeballs, it’s where and when fans are looking as the emotional dopamine hits them.
  2. Fans will spend more for the right experience. Brands just need to show up in the right place at the right time and be contextually relevant.
  3. Brands muscling into a sport without context or relevance will suffer the wrath of fans as seen with Saudi investment moving into golf and cricket
