FanWide is a free website (http://www.FanWide.com) and app (iOS and Android) that connects sports fans from every team in any city. FanWide promotes in-person game watch parties and develops local fan communities for every pro, college, and international team at sports bars nationwide. These venues bid against each other to host the event using FanWide's patented event auction system, and the hosts guarantee that the team's games will be featured with sound!
Fan clubs and alumni associations can use FanWide's services to expand their network, organize events, communicate with local fans, collect and report attendance data, enter contests, receive donations, and activate food or drink discounts from the event host or team sponsors.
Sports teams and leagues can use FanWide's Sports Data Platform to analyze fan engagement, and all of FanWide’s services can be integrated within the team’s own website or app. Incentivized by promotions and discounts, fans from around the country can check in at events and report watch party attendance. This is used to improve accuracy for Out-Of-Home TV ratings, so broadcast and advertising partners will see a measurable increase in viewership among the younger audience that is unsubscribing from cable. FanWide also offers partners new targeted advertising channels through its digital platform and on-site activation at events nationwide.
Since launching in 2016, Seattle-based FanWide has promoted over 350,000 events at 9,000 hosts for 10,000 fan clubs! Millions of out-of-market fans can use the free FanWide website or app to find the closest viewing party for their favorite team, wherever they are living or traveling.
Long-term FanWide wants to provide the leading platform to automatically connect event hosts with fans of all interests around the world, for TV shows, gaming, politics, board games, trivia, and more.
