Who are we?

InCrowd is a data-led fan marketing company, but first and foremost, we are sports fans. We understand the unrivalled passion and dedication of supporters towards the clubs, leagues and players they care about.  We have thrived during the recent pandemic as our clients recognise that they need to create better direct relationships with their fans.

We use technology to capture real-time fan consumption data and have enterprise-scale third-party data integrations enabling our clients to gain a deeper understanding of their fans, going well beyond who they are and delving deeper into their behavioural habits and fan characteristics. This approach allows our clients to drive business intelligence and to deliver relevant and timely content and marketing messages to fans, via InCrowd’s content and messaging tools.

InCrowd’s core digital experience platform (DXP) powers official mobile apps and websites, personalised fan messaging and LED and Big Screens in over 140 stadiums around the world, utilising first-party and behavioural data.

• Formula 1
• ECB / ICC / IPL
