ESPN Fantasy App
ESPN
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ESPN Fantasy's One App is not only where most fantasy players play our industry-leading games, but we have given equal consideration to the content created to enhance the user’s experience. Since the launch of the App, more than half of all fantasy editorial content is being consumed on a mobile device and the majority of that takes place in the immersive App experience. Users can consume columns such as Matthew Berry’s weekly “Love/Hate”; and Eric Karabell’s must-read blog, get Mike Clay’s proprietary matchup data and Tristan Cockcroft’s weekly recap.
Player Alerts can also be sent to any player’s owner not only for gameplay, but to inform owners of a specific player of a piece of content that is relevant to them.
The fantasy app has also transformed how users consume video online, with tens of millions of video starts recorded since August, 100% of them MANUAL Content is integrated throughout the App, with particular attention paid to personalization and tagging, which allows content to flow to users at the time they are looking at a specific player, which is why over 10 Billion player cards are clicked annually within the game, serving latest news (from our partner Rotowire), our own weekly player outlooks and projections, and the latest video .Because of that reliance on video, we have invested significant resources in clipping video from our NFL studio shows, the Fantasy Focus podcast, all while continuing to create original digital video.
All of this has contributed to the ESPN One App’s position as the No. 2 sports App on the market in September and October, and the No.1 sports app in terms of time spent over the same span.
