UEFA Champions League Final: Exclusive Neuroscience Study
Updated: June 2022
MindProber launched an exclusive live media monitoring session of one of the most anticipated sports events in the world of football. On Saturday, 28th May 2022, our incredible UK and US panels (and our team) watched the UEFA Champions League Final opening ceremony and performance by Camila Cabello and the ultimate battle between Liverpool and Real Madrid football clubs, a.k.a. ‘The Reds’ and the ‘Merengues.’
MindProber PALM
For this top-tier sporting event, we deployed the MindProber PALM – Physiological Analysis of Live Media. We collected the emotional and behavioral responses to the sports broadcast at scale in real-time, to create the second-by-second Engagement Timeline and calculate the impact of key game and broadcast features like goal kicks, corner kicks, free kicks, counterattacks, goals, goal replays, near misses, and more.
Campaign Effectiveness
Sports events like these are rich emotional experiences for fans and they also represent tremendous opportunities for brands to connect with their audiences. For those reasons, we also analyzed the effectiveness of the commercial campaigns to see which brands hit their KPIs, across the funnel.
Football is a game of strategy and skill, but also a game of chance. Two things are certain though. One – we expected to see some brilliant football and two, the MindProber team was particularly eager to start the project – the definition of pure fun at work.
