Automate Broadcast & TV Earned Media Measurement with Blinkfire
In the rapidly evolving world of sports and entertainment, success is no longer defined solely by what happens on the field. To stay competitive, organizations must have an understanding of how their sponsorships perform across every channel where fans engage—including social, digital, in-game, and broadcast, and streaming.
While social media measurement has become increasingly sophisticated, accurately capturing the value of TV earned media and in-game broadcast exposure remains a significant challenge for many organizations. That’s where Blinkfire comes in, as we’ve built the most robust solution on the market for broadcast and TV earned media.
The Data Silo Problem
Many sports organizations manage expansive sponsorship portfolios that include stadium signage, digital streaming, and linear television broadcasts. Without the right tools, brand- and asset-level TV data is difficult to capture consistently and often remains siloed from other datasets.
This lack of integration creates several hurdles:
- Underreported Value: Valuable exposure generated during live games is often missed, leading to a gap between actual and reported performance. Additionally, many teams don’t track TV earned media, which leaves more valuable exposure unaccounted for.
- Inaccurate Pricing: Without centralized data, it is difficult to accurately model pricing for TV-visible assets such as media podiums, backdrops, and on-field placements.
- Fragmented Workflows: Manual tracking of broadcast clips is time-consuming and prone to human error.
