Leading “Social Media Fanbase Penetration” is (still) not who you might think…
In the fall of 2010 a Loyalsticity blog post introduced the concept “Social Media Fanbase Penetration” (SMFP) in an attempt to move the focus away from volumes (e.g. number of Facebook friends) and look into what proportion of a club’s actual fanbase a club connects with via social media. SMFP was introduced as an attempt to provide a better comparison measure for social media fan reach as a club like Napoli for example will never reach the same volumes as Real Madrid.This past week has seen numerous of new articles published (for example on the UK Sports Network and Fotebol Finance) focusing on ranking football clubs by number of Facebook friends and although newsworthy, I believe it is time to take another look at SMFP and see how clubs do in relation to their actual fan bases?

Sports is the Medicine of tomorrow
Sports is the Medicine of tomorrow
Blessing to Japan
The people of Japan are awakening to daylight for the first time after the devastating 8.9 magnitude earthquake last night. “Sports is the Medicine of Tomorrow” is a quote from Friday at the Global Sports Forum Barcelona that gives us all hope that it rings true for Japan. More than a thousand Japanese are dead and the Northeast part of the country lays devastated by a terrifying tsunami that will define a generation in terms of its destruction but also in its recovery.

So I have to thank him for taking time and of course the guys who organized the Global Sports Forum Barcelona for giving me the opportunity to speak exclusively before the sessions to Christian.

FC Barcelone, més que un club
L’un des meilleurs moments du Global Sports Forum de Barcelone a eu lieu hier soir. Je ne parle pas là d’une conférence, bien que le plateau des intervenants soit de très grande qualité, mais d’une petite soirée que nous a offert l’organisation au sein du mythique Camp Nou, le stade du FC Barcelone !
Nous avons commencé par une visite du musée du club, qui ne se contente pas de briller en football (même si le musée y consacre la plus grande partie) mais qui est sans conteste le plus grand club multi-sport au monde. Petite visite guidée en vidéo (soyez indulgents, ce sont les premières que je fais …) Read the rest of this entry »

Sandro Rosell and FC Barcelona
In one of the last sessions from last week’s Global Sports Forum, Sandro Rosell, the President of FC Barcelona, talked about what it means for his team to be “més que un club” (more than a club). From the few days I spent in Barcelona, there is no arguing how important Barca is to the local sports culture. Fans live and breathe with the team (it happened to be a pleasant week since they had just defeated Arsenal in a Champions League game earlier in the week).
Here are some of the insights shared by Rosell about the culture and identity of the club:

A solas con Federico Addiechi, Director de Responsabilidad Social Corporativa de la FIFA
Tras la sesión La Responsabilidad Social Corporativa (RSC) y el
deporte como vehículo para la inclusión, he tenido la oportunidad de conversar a solas con Federico Addiechi, Director de RSC de la FIFA.La FIFA tiene una larga tradición humanitaria y ha apoyado durante décadas iniciativas de cooperación para el desarrollo. Pero es a partir de 2005, con la creación del Departamento de RSC que Federico lidera desde entonces, que el enfoque de gestión de la entidad experimenta un salto evolutivo, pasando de la mera filantropía a la adopción de un compromiso de responsabilidad integral, transversal y proactivo.
