xiv Deloitte’s Sports Industry Starting Lineup—2018

Winning the hearts and wallets of millennials

Over the past few years, we’ve seen increased splintering of the cable TV bundle and the proliferation of streaming services that deliver programming. In the same way that sports viewership has been upended by changes in the media industry, we’re also starting to see a shift in how teams and brands serve ads to fans consuming their content. Soon to be gone are the days of mass marketing home games on billboards and TV commercials. Instead, as individuals increasingly watch sporting events over digital platforms such as SlingTV or DirecTV Now, the data trail left behind will be used to target fans ZLWKSHUVRQDOL]HGR΍HUVWREX\WLFNHWVRU merchandise.6

One team leading this trend is the Miami Dolphins, who over the past year has used much of its marketing budget on content development, using social engagement as a mechanism to identify and grow its fan base.7 This “Meeting fans where they consume content—in method is particularly important for organizations hoping to capture the loyalty the palm of their hand—is crucial, especially given of millennials, whose preferred media how comfortable consumers have grown making mediums are smartphones and mobile applications.
