What: Get your tickets to #PortadaNY, Sept. 25 and learn about the best (and the not so great) consumer engagement practices during the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Daniel Keats, Director Consumer Marketing at Sponsorships, Allstate and Alejandro Solorio, Hispanic Marketing Director at Comcast Corporation will dig deep into the matter.
Why it matters: The world soccer tournament is arguably the most important sports event for advertisers, as a myriad of companies looks for the chance to increase brand health. Experts discuss the gist of the Russia 2018 opportunities.

After 2014’s FIFA World Cup in Brazil reached an audience of 3.2 billion people, with over one billion of viewers of the final match between Argentina and Germany alone, the expectations for this year’s tournament were pretty high. For instance, US $600 million bought Telemundo the exclusive rights to broadcast the 2018 and 2022 cups, leaving Univision out of the question. By the way, Telemundo reached 57% of the U.S. Hispanic population during the Russia 2018 World Cup, and Telemundo Deportes’ digital presentation reached 15.5 million unique users, generating a record-setting 130 million livestreams and 1.96 billion live minutes viewed.

Therefore, advertisers are usually enthusiastic about showing their products and services to an audience that has the huge passion point of soccer in common. And this year was more special: it was the most connected World Cup ever. In the cord-cutting era, digital disruption promised an array of ways for advertisers to reach consumers effectively; from in-app real-time push notifications celebrating a goal to interactive content on social media, every brand knew people would be watching in multiple screens, so what could be the best way to engage them?
