Role overview: 

The Media landscape is changing. Sport has traditionally relied upon the value of TV audiences to underwrite the sponsorship value sold by tournaments, displaying sponsors on screen. However, with the decline in broadcast viewing figures and growth in digital, tennis needs to more effectively measure and value a growing digital audience to capitalise on this changing landscape.

Historically all audience measurement and valuation was outsourced to third parties, but now the business wants to build intelligence and capability internally, so we can better serve Tournaments as audiences and platforms continue to transition to digital.

With only 1+ years’ experience we’re looking for someone who has interest and enthusiasm in the below responsibilities – not necessarily experience within them but this is beneficial.

  • Support the Insights Manager in managing two agencies to deliver the media measurement and evaluation reports to tournaments throughout the year
  • Use analytics tools and audience dashboards to interpret viewership and valuation across linear TV, streaming and social media to build reports
  • Support in valuing and reporting on additional sponsored digital campaigns for tournaments.
  • Support with any ad hoc evaluation queries from commercial team and tournaments.
  • Analyse and manipulate raw data to identify trends (Excel skills required).

Qualifications, Skills & Attributes:

  • 1+ years’ experience working in Rights Holder or media/sports marketing agency environment
  • Analytical mind – genuine interest in analysing data and identifying the ‘so what’
