1 Know your audience

The first step to engaging fans is to know who they are, what they want, and how they consume media. You need to do some research and analysis to understand your fan demographics, preferences, motivations, and behaviors. You also need to segment your fans into different groups based on their level of interest, loyalty, and engagement. This will help you tailor your media strategy to each segment and deliver relevant and personalized content.

One thing I've found useful is finding out what are demographic and user base looks like for each social channel. The way you approach these audiences differs, and should not be the same messaging down the line.

The first step always in a communication plan or strategy is knowing your audience, access points and content commotion method. In sports, fans have access to multiple points - free (Social media), directly paid (paid apps, channels subscriptions), indirectly paid (news, paid sports channels). Then one has to decide what type of content works best for which access point, for eg- if it is Social media, you have to make sure it is a quick piece of content, otherwise you will lose their attention. The media strategy will have to be a bit modular in terms of content and for that people actually have to invest time and possibly money to make the best of it.

2 Choose your channels

The next step is to choose the best media channels to reach and engage your fans. There are many options available, such as social media, websites, blogs, podcasts, newsletters, apps, and more. You need to consider the strengths and weaknesses of each channel, as well as the resources and skills required to manage them. You also need to align your channels with your goals, objectives, and key performance indicators (KPIs). For example, if you want to increase awareness and reach, you might use social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. If you want to deepen engagement and loyalty, you might use channels like YouTube, podcasts, or newsletters.

A/B testing with channels is also good way to make a choice for a long term strategy. I only say this because of one thing, data has often been able to show a lot things about people and is usually based on past performance for marketers to make an educated assumption to pick and choose a channel going ahead. However, data can not predict how people will interact of content types when the strategy is in play, conducting A/B testing will make sure you make a more informed choice in terms of choosing your channels.

3 Create compelling content

The third step is to create compelling content that attracts, informs, entertains, and inspires your fans. You need to use storytelling techniques to craft narratives that resonate with your fans and showcase your team's identity, values, and achievements. You also need to use multimedia elements like images, videos, audio, and graphics to enhance your content and make it more appealing and interactive. You also need to vary your content formats and styles to suit different channels and audiences. For example, you might use short and snappy posts for social media, long and in-depth articles for blogs, or fun and casual conversations for podcasts.

Content is king. The attention span of the average person has reduced to less than a goldfish. The average human's attention span is scientifically proven to be 8.25 seconds. If you make an impact in the first 8.25 seconds the chances are much higher that the content whether video, imagery, audio or the written word will be viewed and interacted with. This is one of the main reasons why content marketers say "content is king" and is only reason why content is to be attractive at all times. Always be flexible with your content and also try and include humour. Don't forget - sports fans love memes, if you can include humour and memes, it will be more memorable, thus improving engagement.

4 Encourage participation

The fourth step is to encourage participation from your fans and create a sense of community and belonging. You need to invite your fans to share their opinions, feedback, questions, stories, and emotions with you and with each other. You also need to respond to your fans and acknowledge their contributions and support. You also need to create opportunities for your fans to interact with your team, players, and personalities, such as live Q&A sessions, polls, quizzes, contests, giveaways, or fan clubs. You also need to reward your fans for their participation and loyalty, such as offering exclusive content, access, or benefits.

I do enjoy a call-to-action. Previously as a content editor, a call to action showed that there was some form of engagement and people genuinely preferred it. It has been seen that a Call-to-action whether it be a quiz, Q&A, or poll, gets people involved. People in general love being involved and when there is a call-to-action, you acknowledge their contribution and this if done correctly and in-moderation builds engagement in the long run, which is crucial if you want to be successful with sports fans.

5 Monitor and measure

The final step is to monitor and measure the effectiveness of your media engagement strategy and adjust it as needed. You need to use tools and metrics to track and analyze your media performance, such as reach, impressions, views, clicks, likes, shares, comments, ratings, reviews, subscriptions, or conversions. You also need to collect and evaluate feedback from your fans and stakeholders, such as surveys, interviews, focus groups, or testimonials. You also need to compare your results with your goals, objectives, and KPIs, and identify your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. You also need to learn from your successes and failures, and implement changes and improvements to optimize your media engagement.

Monitoring and acknowledging feedback is important at any given day, this allows marketers to give people what they want, when they want and where it want to access it from, to keep them coming back for more. As marketing as evolved, hyper-personalisation is now slowly coming into the next step, thus allowing for better engagement numbers and also could lead to the implementation of new media formats for sports fans.
