BSports + MVP Index
The new partnership targets engagement for brands, consumers and media companies around sports-related assets that can be sponsored such as teams, leagues, athletes and venues. Their new sports tech products will be designed to enhance and quantify such business opportunities for proactive clients.

“This partnership with MVPindex underscores the various ways in which the new and advanced use of data can benefit fans, media companies and marketers to a much larger extent than has ever existed before,” said Bill Squadron, STATS EVP and head of Bloomberg Sports. “By combining performance analytics with social media social engagement we will be able to provide a very unique look into every aspect of performance for an athlete, and see where and how social media impacts or doesn’t impact an athlete’s overall brand value and performance.”

Beginning with a joint study of the impact a football player’s social media index and his fantasy football draft projection round, they plan to unveil several case studies that indicate how fans are best avoiding influence by “trending” social media entities whose fantasy sport projections do not measure the same way.

Further ground-breaking analysis is being conducted on BSports Power 50 European soccer player’s such as Christiano Ronaldo on Real Madrid, and the level of degree their performance metrics accurately reflects upon their social media data.

“Companies are constantly looking to find the most efficient and effective ways to evaluate their engagements with athletes,” said Kyle Nelson co-founder and CMO of MVPindex. “Our goal here is to combine all that is impacting performance on the field with what is being communicated off the field in social media and deliver the best and most intriguing snapshot possible to all those interested in real-time brand value analysis, versus survey-based analysis traditionally used today. We think this will help change the way athlete’s digital presence will be evaluated and valued going forward. We are proud to be working with BSports on this new groundbreaking partnership.”
