Smart Audience Affinity: Sports Fan

Media has made sports more accessible than ever, offering a wide variety of coverage across different platforms, enabling fans to follow various sports from around the world and providing them with more options to engage with sports.

RTL AdAlliance created the new Smart Audience affinity, the Sports Fan, designed specifically to help advertisers target this audience. The Sports Fan is passionate about sports and spends many hours each week watching sports events, analyzing games, tracking player statistics, and staying up-to-date on team developments.

The new affinity is a great opportunity for brands to connect with the right audience and will be especially interesting for advertisers such as sports apparel, fitness products, streaming services, sports betting platforms, energy drink brands, and automotive companies targeting active, lifestyle-oriented individuals.
