NFL Draft
The NFL partnered with Meshh to optimize event operations, deliver sponsor success metrics, and inform year-over-year (YoY) strategy and planning at the 2023 NFL Draft in Kansas City.

The Challenge

Implementation
Meshh sensors were deployed at 40 touchpoints across entry/exit points, VIP area, draft viewing areas, sponsored activations, and activities. Entry point sensors were utilized to determine arrival behavior and the VIP section was used to create ticket type cohorts. Activities and partnered experiences were categorized by experience type to identify patterns of successful experiences for YoY planning.

Insights + Actions
- Sponsor Analysis: Engagement data to validate sponsors performance. Sponsors were plotted on a bubble chart to identify the most successful experiences across various metrics.
- Cohort Analysis: Analyze the behaviour differences between GAs, VIPs, Concert Goers, Superfans, Families and more when looking at arrival patterns, time on site, and engagement behaviour.
- Experience Analysis: Categorize experiences by Sampling, Photo Ops, Merchandise, and Activities. Measure the performance of each to inform YoY planning.
- Operational Data: Measure when visitors were likely to arrive each day, how long they dwelled on site, the likeliest path of travel after arriving from each gate, and overlap data between various experiences.
