Sports Fan Development Institute
Game Day Communications introduces its Sports Fan Development Institute. Now more than ever, sports teams and events can engage their sports fans with experiential programming, access to athletes and direct marketing opportunities, thanks in part to the social media phenomenon. As a society, we are sharing more and more information on a daily basis as we become more comfortable with social networking, and at the same time, we also want more access and experiential opportunities. The Institute is a research-based program for sports groups and sporting events to understand and engage their fans while growing new fan support through direct marketing. Think of the Institute as a think tank for athletics.
