Genius Sports Announces Strategic Partnership with iSpot

Genius Sports, the data, technology and broadcast partner that powers the global ecosystem connecting sports, betting and media, announced a strategic partnership with TV measurement company, iSpot.

The partnership will provide Genius Sports with iSpot’s Outcomes and Unified Measurement solutions, which verifies and measures video advertising across the vast array of content types — such as linear TV and streaming platform apps and services — that consumers have at their fingertips.

In doing so, Genius Sports clients will now have an unprecedented ability to understand deduplicated audiences over these viewing sources as well as understanding the true ROI and impact their media strategies have on consumer action.

Specifically, Genius Sports will integrate iSpot’s Unified and Outcomes measurement solutions and data insights into FANHub, their omnichannel platform, purpose-built to reach sports fans by expanding access to premium, brand-safe advertising inventory across the web, mobile and streaming TV.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Genius Sports in order to help the broader media marketplace capitalize on the clear opportunity that exists with what are often loyal fans. Sports programming alongside the growth in sports books have unlocked a great deal of value for marketers over streaming and digital channels, and one of iSpot’s key missions is to help brands unlock and harness that value,” said Emily Wood, VP of Business Development at iSpot.
