YOUKNOW Digital, the official reseller of technology solutions for leading brands and agencies in Africa announces collaboration with Mscsports to drive additional value in their business using the GWI platform and audience insights.
Survey data continues to play an increasingly important role in how agencies strategise for current clients and pitch for new business, it allows them to back ideas with data and helps them to stay at the forefront of their industry.
“At Mscsports we obsess about creating measurable impact for brands and rights holders by creating fame, growing & engaging audiences and ultimately generating revenue from their sponsorship investments. We call this Impact Marketing. The starting point for any of our Impact Marketing strategies is the collection and analysis of audience, category and brand data, which is used to arrive at unique and informed insights for our clients.
Our partnership with GWI provides us with access to reliable data and insights into attitudes, interests and perceptions of local and international audiences, relevant to any brand, competitor or segment within our industry and beyond. Where research and data collection could take weeks or months to complete, we now have instant access to an up-to-date global database within seconds. This allows us to spend more time on the creative elements of the strategic process, as well as adjust our strategies in real-time to continuously deliver maximum impact and performance.
As sponsorship budgets are increasingly placed under pressure, accessing audiences by understanding them, connecting with them and ultimately engaging authentically is the most direct route to delivering growth in performance, measurable ROI and impact. We are excited to have GWI on board as a partner to help us deliver this for all of our clients.” says Grant McEwan, head of strategic communication at MscSports.
GWI has provided leading audience insights to global agencies and brands. While their technology is leading with its data solutions, GWI maintains the agility, energy and spirit of a startup.
