Round Rock Express Raises the Bar on Fan Insights and Engagement with Fan Manager
BOSTON and ROUND ROCK, Texas (PRWEB) April 10, 2018 -- Fan Manager™, innovating intelligent fan activation solutions for sports and entertainment properties, and Round Rock Express Baseball Club today announced that the Express selected Fan Manager as its platform of choice for fan data insights and activation. Entering its 19th year, Round Rock is the first minor league team to adopt an AI-powered data analysis platform for audience search, analysis, segmentation, attribution, and management.
“Austin and the surrounding communities are growing, and we want to understand how we can best meet our fans’ needs while delivering an awesome experience every time they come to Dell Diamond,” said Laura Fragoso, senior vice president of marketing at Round Rock. “Most fan-based data analytics solutions we looked at were either too complex to adopt organization-wide or were weighted toward a single fan dimension such as social media,” continued Fragoso. “Fan Manager integrates with the widest variety of data sources and offered the deepest and most well-rounded fan view available. Plus, it’s very easy to use. Fan Manager’s ease of use really clicked with everyone in our organization. Complex data are presented in a straight-forward manner. In just three clicks, we’ll be able to conduct audience segmentation to fuel marketing campaigns that will truly resonate with fans.”
The Fan Manager platform unifies data from ticketing, CRM, commerce, social media, email, and other disparate data sources. Its proprietary machine-learning algorithms automatically ingest and index millions of fan transactions per day. This capability will enable Round Rock to target and analyze relevant fan behaviors and seamlessly build audience segments, which are pushed directly to their marketing channels -- reducing fan activation time-to-market by 80%.
“We are thrilled to be working with Round Rock Express, which shares the same passion we have for improving the fan experience through innovative technology,” noted David Melnick, CEO of Fan Manager. “Moreover, Round Rock’s adoption of the Fan Manager platform demonstrates the value that we can bring to both major and minor league teams and we look forward to bringing more minor league teams onto the Fan Manager platform.”
