✍️In today’s news, Toby Clark, Planning Director at Sport UNLIMITED shares his insights on “The next generation of sports fans look very different to us.” 🔞”When I say “us”, I mean millennials. When I say; “next gen” I mean the 18-24 Gen Z fan that rights holders are chasing to keep their fan pipeline alive. And when I say; “look different”, I mean they turn to sport for their own unique reasons. To satisfy different needs to the ones that you or I do. 🌍Looking more broadly than purely sport consumption, we can’t forget that younger people, regardless of the era in which they grew up in, generally have different needs to adults. And there is some universality in which needs are more important at a young age. And how these evolve as we enter adolescence, and critically how these needs are met by sport fandom.” 🔗Read more here: https://lnkd.in/efwnx2en
