2. What is Brand Share Index (BSI)?
An annual statistical report based on a nationwide consumer study which identifies a brand’s preference within a wide range of sports market and media segments. These segments fall into three general categories
Demographics
Attend/Viewing Habits
Favorite Teams

3. What is the “Index”
The Index is calculated by dividing a brand’s share of the number of fans in the segment by the brand’s share of all fans in the sport category.
To illustrate, suppose a brand’s share-of-market among all fans within a particular sport category (NFL, NBA, etc.) is 12.0%, but their share- of-market among fans who frequently attend games is 16.0%.
To calculate the Brand Share Index, we divide the brand’s share-of- market among fans who frequently attend games (16.0) by the brand’s share-of-market among all fans (12.0). The result is 133, which represents the Brand Share Index.

4. What is the Value of BSI
BSI data enable sponsors and sports teams/organizations to match their respective profiles, in terms of demographics, media habits and other measures such as favorite sports team.
BSI has several valuable, unique features:
