Fan Engagement Index

Fan Engagement Index 2021/2022

Previous years tables are available via the Fan Engagement Hub (no registration required.) You can also access every episode of the Fan Engagement Pod via the website.

Whatever’s going on in Fan Engagement, it’s our mission to make it more easily understood, measured and improved. That’s the purpose of the Fan Engagement Index.

We hear a lot about how clubs are so different from each other, but we think they share the same DNA, and so should share more of how they do their Fan Engagement. So we also pick out some of the detail of what clubs are doing, and share it more widely via the hub.

Whether it helps you in your work, your research, or just helps you to understand your club or Fan Engagement better, we hope you find the Fan Engagement Index useful. And don’t forget to listen to the Fan Engagement Pod, with experts and interesting guests each week.

And if Fan Engagement is your thing, stay up-to-date, why not join the Fan Engagement Network, and you’ll be the first to hear about events, latest editions of the Fan Engagement Pod and other exclusive content.
