Why This Matters

The Average Audience Quality Ratio for similar sized Sports Property Accounts is 71%.  The Lions are on par with this average, and the Raiders and Cowboys are above this mark.

The Average AQS for NFL team accounts is 85, placing all three followings analyzed above this mark.

By partnering with properties whose accounts are below that 71% Audience Quality ratio, you then are spending more for impressions based on their total follower count, despite never seeing minimally 30% of those impressions due to bot or mass follower accounts.

Two Distinct Audience Income Profiles

On average, over a third of all three fanbases have an annual income above $100K. The Raiders have the largest share of following above this threshold at 36.9%.  Understanding that the majority of the fanbase is still located in California, how can Ford target this income segment?

Additionally, 39.7% of all three followings are making less than $50K annually, with the Cowboys holding the largest share below $50K at 45.4%. Coupling this with the youth demographic data covered earlier, this presents two distinct audience profiles Ford can target within these fanbases.

Leveraging Fan Interests

Over 60% of the Raiders Fanbase has an interest in Extreme Sports & Outdoor Activity. Combined with 36.9% of the Raiders fanbase having an annual household income above $100K, this would be a great segment to advertise Ford's performance tech line and off-road vehicle line.

Numerous games and gaming brands are among the most followed accounts by Cowboys, Lions, & Raiders followers. How can Ford leverage this segment of fan interest, which is likely at its highest among the 35% of team followers ages 24 & below?

Unique Discrepecancy between GMC & Subsidiaries with Lions Fanbase

Using third-party data, we identified that over a third of the Detroit Lions following also follows GMC on Instagram. This may be due to various factors such as: Detroit Lions Players & Coaches being named Grand Marshall of the Chevy Grand Prix & Previous Social Activations (including sweepstakes) between the Lions & GMC.
