Official Partnership Announcement – 04.03.2021

 

Homefans are delighted to announce a new media partnership with El Míster, a nascent Latin American sports content platform covering the most interesting sports stories with its unique and independent lens. 

The partnership will allow both companies to utilise a diversity of media platforms to tell and amplify unique stories off the pitch, to highlight best practices within the sports industry, and to incorporate the cultural, social and economic angle around the Homefans global network.  Equally, both companies will aim to capture new business development opportunities in Mexico. 

Based in Mexico, El Míster has positioned itself as one pioneer within the sports industry media landscape. From day one its value proposition stood out and made it appealing to a specific segment of the Latin American readers: El Míster targets the 20% of the audience that willingly pays attention to the topics that go beyond the usual controversies in sport found in the traditional media, and seek for in depth stories and analysis. In addition, its strength lies in the effective use of various digital platforms to tell these stories:  podcasts, newsletters, clubhouse sessions, chronicles, among others.

The unique Homefans marketplace model incorporates the fan experience at the heart of its value proposition. The recent development of the 360 degree fan experience approach allows fans to access the best sports experiences from the comfort of their home.  The launch of  Homefans LIVE , the innovative virtual tours hosted by professional clubs and local hosts,  confirms this novel approach. Moreover, the launch of the Homefans Shop complements this proposition and excels at bringing together unique and tangible fan experiences to the comfort of each and everyone’s home.

Homefans has set its eyes on the Latin American territories to grow this proposition,  and with the support of a media partner like El Míster, a complete and thorough coverage, analysis and amplification of the best stories and business activities will be guaranteed.

All in all, this partnership aims to capture sports fans around these unique stories, to interact with different stakeholders, and to ultimately gravitate around the latest trends and best practices in fan engagement and fan experience.
