Solana Beach, Calif. – May 6, 2014 – San Diego-based Hookit
unveils an all-new brand identity and platform of tools and services
surrounding the introduction of its revolutionary Hookit Score.
The Hookit Score is a ground-breaking evolution of the Hookit Index™,
which was the first ever tool to track, quantify and rank athletes’
exposure and activity in the complex world of social media. The new
Hookit Score is a 1-10,000 score and the new standard to effectively
measure any athletes’ commitment, performance and reach in their
respective sport.
Hookit’s proprietary scoring engine tracks 15M pieces of data every
day from hundreds of verified sources to track and compare athletes
based on their fan base and exposure in social media, how often they do
their sport, how much they travel, and their competition results at
events.
For the first time ever, athletes at any level from the pros to local
competitors and enthusiasts have a way to track their progression, see
where they stack up against other athletes, friends and pros, and earn
recognition and deals from brands and sponsors as their Hookit Score
grows.
“We have always supported the most dedicated athletes with a platform
that helps them earn recognition and deals to cover the increasing
costs to do their sport,” said Scott Tilton Hookit CEO.
“With today’s
shifting digital landscape and the challenges brands face to connect
with and engage with their most valuable consumers, the Hookit Score is
the most effective way to discover and reward athletes who support your
brand.”
Brands can effectively leverage the collective audience of their
sponsored athletes’ networks to generate an authentic emotional
connection that capitalizes on athlete influence and sharability. The
Hookit Score also allows brands to better determine which athletes are
the most engaging with their fans and who are the most marketable with
the power to inspire their fans to buy the products they endorse.
With genuine social media data on athletes, the Hookit Score ensures
brands can justify their ROI on the dollars spent on sponsorship, which
marks the beginning of a new era in maximizing the value and influence
of their professionally sponsored athletes.
The introduction of the Hookit Score allows brands to connect with
the millennial athlete, and provides new opportunities for brands to
better discover, manage and maximize their athletes and sports marketing
programs by ranking athletes.
Brands can also access all of their sponsored, or prospective
athletes’ ranking stats to better define and establish quantitative KPIs
to further drive brand awareness and conversion through ecommerce if
their athlete is tied to product.
By tracking and ranking athletes,
brands can also better activate athletes through their social platforms,
effectively measure the performance and ROI, and optimize athletes by
ranking their brand contribution through the actual earned media benefit
the athlete is generating for the brand they represent.
