Sponsorship intelligence for emerging sports markets

See the full value of your sports partnerships.

Partnership data is fragmented across reports, markets, and platforms. Merito brings it into one intelligence layer — so sponsors and sports properties can see what was delivered and decide what to do next.

The problem

Your report may show exposure. It may not show the full picture.

Sports partnership performance is reported through disconnected tools, inconsistent methods, and delayed analysis — making it hard to know what was delivered, how assets compare, and where the next decision should come from.

Fragmented visibility

Different partners get tracked in different tools — Blinkfire for branding, Kangu for esports, manual Excel for the rest. There is no single source of truth.

Inconsistent measurement

Every market and agency uses its own definitions, assumptions, and valuation methods — so reported numbers rarely compare like-for-like.

Asset-level blind spots

Portfolio totals hide which placements, rights, and activations actually drove the result — the detail gets lost in the summary.

Delayed decisions

By the time the report lands, the season is half over — renewal decisions get made blind, without the evidence in hand.

The solution

What becomes clearer with Merito?

01

Know what was delivered

Track exposure across broadcast, digital, social, and event touchpoints — so you see exactly what each partner received, not just what was promised.

Verified
02

Know what performed

Compare the value each asset and channel contributed against real market deals — so performance is judged on comparable terms, not gut feel.

Modelled
03

Know what to do next

Turn the evidence into a clear next step — renew, reallocate, repackage, or walk away — backed by a report stakeholders can actually trust.

What Merito helps you do

Each capability answers a commercial question.

Not a generic feature grid — every tile maps to a decision your team actually faces.

See what was delivered

A sponsorship lead asks what their partner actually received across every channel. Merito organizes the exposure evidence into one structured view.

Verified

Find your highest-value assets

A brand manager asks which placements earn their keep. Move from portfolio totals to asset-level contribution and find what truly drives value.

Modelled

Compare partnerships across markets

A regional lead asks how Brazil compares to Poland and Türkiye. Put partners, clubs, and markets on one consistent, comparable basis.

Modelled

Build the renewal case

Before you negotiate renewal, see exactly what the partner received last season — not what was in the proposal. Build the case on delivered evidence.

Verified

Align sponsors and rights holders

Both sides ask whether they are measuring the same thing the same way. Give sponsors and clubs a shared language for exposure, methodology, and value.

Verified

Create executive-ready reporting

A CMO asks if they can show the board what they got for their money. Turn complex analysis into clear views leadership can act on.

Modelled

A repeatable workflow

Structure the partnership once. Keep learning from it.

The same five-step logic runs on every match, market, and season — so results stay comparable over time.

1

Sample

Draw a representative sample of broadcast minutes from the match or period being measured.

2

Read the clock

Detect every sponsorship-relevant moment by timestamp — LED boards, jersey chest, pitch inflatables, press walls.

3

Read the scene

Classify what is on screen at each moment: which brand, which asset, how visible, and for how long.

4

Match

Match each detected brand to the official partner roster and contract — so exposure is tied to a real agreement.

5

Aggregate

Roll the moments up into exposure value, asset contribution, and market benchmarks — every figure labelled Verified, Modelled, or Estimated.

Data is organized from available sources — no automatic ingestion is promised unless a real integration is in place.

Built for your side of the table

Trust & methodology

Clear outputs require clear assumptions.

Merito makes partnership measurement easier to review, discuss, and compare. Each result shows what was measured, which sources were used, and where estimates apply.

Defined inputs

Every number has a source — a broadcast recording, a club's public partner list, or a market benchmark. Never an estimate without a label.

Transparent methodology

Verified = a price confirmed against the contract. Modelled = calculated from partnership scope and property size. The two are never blended into one figure without distinction.

Comparable framework

The same five fields for every detected sponsor, across every property — so results compare across markets and seasons.

Every figure carries a confidence label — so you always know how much weight to put on it before you act.

Proof of concept

SK Slavia Praha vs Bohemians 1905 — live detection.

We ran Merito's detection on the broadcast of a single first-league match. The system identified 19 brands on screen and verified 6 of them directly against the clubs' official partner rosters. Brands like eToro, Chance, and Fortuna were matched to real agreements, while competition graphics such as Chance Liga were correctly excluded from sponsor counts.
