In this episode, Jeremy Neisser discusses the differences between first-party and third-party data and how they can benefit sports teams. First-party data is data collected directly from the audience or customers and is owned and controlled by the team. It includes ticket sales data, purchase history, website interactions, email marketing engagements, and more.
On the other hand, third-party data is collected by entities not directly related to the organization, such as social media platforms or data brokers. It provides broader insights and allows for targeted advertising based on demographics, interests, and behaviors.
Takeaways

• First-party data is highly accurate and provides unique insights directly from the fan base.
• Third-party data offers broader insights and allows for targeted advertising based on demographics, interests, and behaviors.
• Balancing both types of data can provide comprehensive insights and help identify potential new audiences.
• Prioritizing fan privacy and trust is crucial when handling data.
• Being transparent about data usage and giving fans control over their information builds trust and strengthens fan relationships.
