For this year’s brands-only workshop at SBJ BIS – Navigate’s custom insights team conducted a robust study of sports fans and where they perceive friction points in the fan experience. Ally Corbin presented the findings along with Navigate’s recommendations for brands looking to build relevance and affinity through sponsorship.

She joins AJ Maestas to discuss her presentation and other key learnings from the workshop.

We’ve created an interactive dashboard based on the study’s data. You can filter by question or demographics, or use the AI-feature to chat directly with the data. You can view the dashboard, here: https://navigate-fan-friction-research.manus.space/
