EURO 2016

WAKOOPA CASE STUDY

JUNE-AUGUST 2016

Motivation

International sport events are commonly acknowledged to have sales boosting effect on a

number of markets, especially in entertainment and betting industries.

Their commercial potential gets additionally enhanced by the development and expansion

of Internet communication technologies like online betting sites, video sharing servers and

social media.

In this regards, a natural issue of interest for firms who recognize sport fans as their target

customers is to know how active are the web users on a local level within a particular

country while its national team is competing at the final stage of a big sport forum.

Thanks to the wakoopa-based passive metering solution S/Marlowe, the analysts of

STEM/MARK were able to carry out a pilot behavioral study of the Czech web users’ online

activity during the UEFA Euro 2016.

EURO - CASE STUDY 2

Research Questions

The present STEM/MARK study aims at answering the following three key questions:

• What were the sport news servers mostly visited by the Czech respondents who

searched for information on the internet for the UEFA Euro 2016?

• Which events Czech football fans paid most attention to during the UEFA Euro 2016?

• What betting sites enjoyed highest popularity among the Czech panelists during

the UEFA Euro 2016? Which surfing paths they used to reach the betting servers?

EURO - CASE STUDY 3

Main Findings

The results of the study imply that:

Czech fans are rather not fans of football but of the Czech national team in football.

(After Czech team dropped out, football related pageviews dropped drastically as well)

Czech football fans are driven by negative events.

(The captain and the coach of the national team attracted most of fans’ attention after the

former was injured and the latter announced its resignation, respectively)

When searching for football related pages Czechs visit seznam.cz more than google.cz.

Tipsport.cz appears as a major betting hub on the Czech web which generates visits to

other bet-related sites like betradar.com. Betting traffic is induced by live tv streaming

servers, ceskatelevize.cz, livesport.cz, online.sport.cz, as well.

EURO - CASE STUDY 4

Project scope

• Cawi questionnaire about intentions to

watch EURO 2016 preceding the measuring

• a sample of 47 panelists that passed the

screening (intention to watch)

• wakoopa-based online metering solution

S/Marlowe is applied to track their browsing

behavior, namely

o main web locations visited by the seniors

o average frequency and duration of the seniors’

visits to different web sites

o for a period of 1 month (9.6. –11.7. 2016)

Number of football related pageviews

There were big expectations from the Czech team

(in Czech republic only)

The highest peaks in pageviews follow relatively

good results against

• Spain (loss after goal in the 85th minute)

• Croatia (tie after Czech penalty in the 90th

minute)

After the match with Turkey there are no high peaks

(the match ended Czech hopes)

During the rest of the championship there was low

volatile interest.

EURO - CASE STUDY 12

User engagement segmentation - sites

User engagement segmentation is based

on two measures:

• Frequency = breadth / loyalty

• Duration = depth / commitment

Chart only shows a selection of urls (either

frequently visited or topic related):

• Facebook – most visits, 30 sec avg.

• Youtube – over 1 minute avg.

• Sport.cz – 1 minute (reading articles)

• Goldenclix – 4 secs on page avg.

(pay-to-click page)

Betting: Tipsport is more often visited with

shorter duration (it may be easier to make

a bet there)

Restrictions

• Euro football fans were recruited online, therefore the studied

sample cannot be considered fully representative

• It is a pilot study - the number of panelists is too low to provide

more detailed analysis

In this regard, we would rather consider the presented results of

the survey as a demonstration of the potential of S/Marlowe

metrics for the purpose of market segmentation, target audience

classification and profiling.
