Paul Lindstrom, Head of Research and Analytics, Tunity, made
a startling discovery when data started pouring in for the Women’s World Cup
soccer games. “I looked deeper at the numbers for several games and came up
with a few conclusions which prove the high numbers are truly a phenomenon,” he
stated.
Here are a few key insights:
Ø
Women’s soccer was a strong performer out of
home. The U.S. versus England match
was the #1 televised soccer game year to date OOH and was the tenth highest
sporting event year to date at 8.5 million OOH viewers. The U.S. versus The
Netherlands final delivered 6.9 million viewers.
Ø
Women’s soccer beats Men’s soccer. The U.S. versus
England game as well as the final versus the Netherlands beat the 2018 men’s world
cup final OOH which delivered 4.6 million viewers OOH.
Ø
USA vs. England ranks #10 among the top 20
sports shows of 2019, in a field dominated by football and basketball and
during top championships like the Super Bowl, NBA Finals, and NCAA Tournament.
Ø
Total OOH usage during the USA vs. France game (6/28/19,
7.8MM) was up +225% over the previous Friday, June 21. The game also ranked as
the #1 and #2 program for OOH viewing for the week across every venue. During
the game’s time period, the venue breakdown is as follows: 84% of total OOH
usage, 91% of OOH viewing in bars/restaurants, 89% of OOH viewing in offices
and 51% of OOH viewing in gyms where the primary focus is not necessarily on TV
viewing.
Ø
USA vs. France was tied for the youngest OOH
audience among a range of selected high-profile games and the male proportion
of viewers remains high, in line with NBA and NHL OOH viewers, yet higher than
events like the NBA Draft and The Kentucky Derby. The game is much younger than
OOH usage as a whole and has a substantially higher percentage of men.
The numbers should continue to impress as the team prepares
for next season. Stay tuned … no matter where you are.
