WMT Digital Launches Sports Customer Data Platform Built to Turn Fan Intelligence into Revenue

WMT Digital today announced the launch of WMT Fan Intelligence, designed to unify first-party fan data, deliver richer audience intelligence, and help organizations create more personalized and revenue-driving fan experiences. WMT is introducing the platform through an early access program as organizations face growing pressure to better understand fan behavior, strengthen audience relationships, and turn first-party data into action.

WMT Fan Intelligence is designed to serve as a customer data platform for sports and entertainment organizations seeking to unify first-party fan data, improve audience intelligence, and support more personalized engagement across ticketing, sponsorship, fundraising, merchandise, mobile, and digital experiences. The platform is designed to help organizations create more connected fan profiles, better understand audience behavior, and support more effective engagement and revenue strategies.

Early access partners include the athletics departments at BYU, Texas A&M, and San Diego State, which are helping guide platform development and roadmap priorities as WMT expands availability across collegiate athletics, professional sports organizations, and live event properties. Together, they will ensure capabilities align with how fan engagement, audience expectations, and revenue strategies continue to evolve.

Unlike general-purpose CDP software, WMT Fan Intelligence was designed specifically as a sports CDP and live event customer data platform capable of processing behavioral fan signals unique to sports, entertainment, and event environments. Built specifically for the real-time nature of sports and live events, WMT combines audience segmentation and activation workflows to help organizations personalize engagement, strengthen fan relationships, and drive revenue growth from first-party fan data.

Organizations don't have a data problem. They have a visibility problem, said Antony Martin, Chief Technology Officer at WMT. Most platforms explain what already happened, but WMT is designed to help organizations understand why fans behave the way they do, predict what they're likely to do next, and turn that intelligence into personalized experiences and campaigns that drive revenue in real time. The industry is moving beyond static CDP models toward real-time fan intelligence that can continuously learn, predict and activate.

BYU, Texas A&M, and San Diego State represent the next generation of organizations thinking differently about fan engagement and audience growth, said Andres Focil, CEO and Founder of WMT. As early collaborators, they're helping shape a platform designed around the real-world needs of modern sports organizations and the future of how fandom evolves.

Foundational data sources like ticketing and donor data have been the bedrock for understanding fans across college athletics for a long time, said Tyson Hutchins, Senior Associate Athletic Director, Creative Strategy at BYU Athletics. But our fans are so much more than their giving level and what tickets they purchase; they're who they follow, what they watch, the moments they show up for, the content they share. By partnering with WMT on Fan Intelligence, our goal is to bring all of that together and activate it across every platform and surface we touch. Today in college athletics, it's never been more critical to have a comprehensive understanding of your fans. At BYU, we know to be excellent for years to come we need to unify and act on the full picture of Cougar Nation - in retention, in fundraising, in NIL, in everything. That's the vision we're building toward.

Understanding what fans do is important, but understanding why they do it, and anticipating what comes next, is where the real opportunity exists, said Ayo Taylor-Dixon, Deputy AD Strategic Communications & Brand Advancement at San Diego State Athletics. As a Fan Intelligence early access partner, San Diego State is excited to help shape how connected fan data can be used to better understand fan motivations, identify future engagement opportunities, and create more meaningful connections with the Aztec community. The ability to move beyond simply reporting on past behavior and gain a clearer understanding of what fans may value tomorrow has the potential to be transformative for college athletics. We're excited to explore how these insights can help us better serve our fans and make more informed decisions about the experiences we create.

Today's fans expect the same level of relevance and personalization from college athletics that they receive from the brands and platforms they interact with every day, said Taylor McGillis, Executive Senior Associate AD / External Relations & Revenue Generation at Texas A&M Athletics. Meeting those expectations requires a deeper understanding of what fans value, how they engage, and what drives long-term loyalty. At Texas A&M, we're focused on creating more meaningful and connected experiences for the 12th Man. We're excited to collaborate with WMT as a Fan Intelligence Early Access partner, helping shape the future of audience intelligence and its role in creating deeper, more meaningful fan relationships.

Additional partner spotlights, case studies, and platform announcements are expected as the early access program expands.
