The Challenge

As the 2024 Paris Olympics approached, the Olympic ecosystem faced two critical challenges:

  1. Battling Disinformation: A year-long analysis revealed a surge in disinformation targeting Olympic stakeholders, including athletes, organizers, and sponsors. This disinformation ranged from hoaxes to damaging narratives that eroded trust in the International Olympic Committee and created a polarized digital landscape. Tackling this issue required real-time insights into audience conversations to identify patterns and combat misinformation effectively.
  2. Empowering Olympians: Athletes often struggle to leverage their unique stories and interests to attract sponsorship opportunities and grow their personal brands. Share of Voice AI identified the need for a tool that could provide Olympians with deep audience insights, allowing them to connect authentically with fans and sponsors by creating impactful, data-driven content.

The Solution

To address these challenges, Share of Voice AI partnered with Audiense to harness the power of advanced audience intelligence. With Audiense, they were able to:

  • Analyze social media conversations in real-time to track and respond to evolving disinformation trends, safeguarding Olympic stakeholders and fostering trust.
  • Leverage audience insights to dissect polarized viewpoints and identify organic content trends, empowering proactive strategies rather than reactive measures.
  • Develop the Sponsor Seeker Tool, a groundbreaking platform using psychographic data to help Olympians discover their audience’s passion points, craft compelling content, and secure sponsorships effectively.

By combining cutting-edge technology with a proactive approach, Share of Voice AI and Audiense delivered solutions that tackled both disinformation and the need for deeper audience connections.

The Results

  • Proactive Disinformation Mitigation: Real-time insights into disinformation trends enabled quicker responses, protecting the reputation of Olympic stakeholders and ensuring trust.
  • Empowered Sponsorship Success: The Sponsor Seeker Tool unlocked psychographic data, allowing Olympians to create content that resonated with fans and connected authentically with sponsors.
  • Widespread Adoption: Over 5,000 Olympians have now signed up for the Sponsor Seeker Tool, demonstrating its success in helping athletes grow their personal brands and secure sponsorships.
  • Enhanced Audience Understanding: Insights from Audiense provided a clearer picture of audience behaviors and preferences, fostering stronger connections and more impactful strategies.
