The company attributes some of the growth to the “rapid evolution of technology” and “[sports] fans that are continually evolving and open to change” as highlighted in the recently released report from Sports Innovation Lab; ‘A New Age of Sports’. The report highlights how “fan[s] will follow digital communities” adding that “teams will no longer own the dialogue with fans”, a gap that Follr fills.

The report details how fans “will be a creator, not just a consumer” and “as new platforms emerge to support user-generated content, professional sports will become a platform for the generation of a broader, more dispersed ecosystem, as has already been witnessed in video games and with the popularity of esports.” The full report can be found here.
