LOOPER INSIGHTS, a CTV merchandising analytics platform, has announced the launch of its new Sports Visibility Tracker, a first-of-its-kind solution enabling sports streamers, broadcasters, and rights holders to verify campaign compliance, measure performance and optimise live event promotions across connected TV devices in real time.
Built on Looper Insights’ proprietary MPV™ (Media Placement Value) framework, the Sports Visibility Tracker monitors campaigns before, during, and after major sporting events. It verifies that promotions are compliant, accurate, and timely ahead of each game, then delivers live data throughout game day, complete with highlight reels of wins, misses, and competitor activity. The service provides clients with visual evidence and actionable insights to fix errors in real-time and refine their promotional strategies for upcoming games, a media release said.
According to Deloitte’s 2025 Sports Media Outlook, over 74% of sports fans now watch live events primarily through streaming apps, with Connected TVs accounting for more than 60% of total sports viewership minutes, making on-screen merchandising the new front line for fan acquisition. Yet, until now, no one had true visibility into when and how their sporting events were being promoted, the release said.
Francesca Pezzoli, VP Marketing at Looper Insights, said: “In sports streaming, visibility is a zero-sum game; every second on the home screen is a second your competitor doesn’t have. Our Sports Visibility Tracker turns what was once guesswork into a measurable, repeatable process, giving teams and platforms the clarity to act fast, justify spend, and win attention where it matters most.”
The release said the key benefits of the tracker are:
- Real-Time Visibility and Global Reach: Track every live sports promotion as it appears on Connected TV homepages across hundreds of devices and 25+ countries, exactly as fans see it.
