What can brands learn from the emotional connection fans have to their football clubs? DVJ Insights and PureSpectrum have partnered to hear from fans of top-flight teams in four leading European football nations - England, The Netherlands, Germany and Spain - to understand more.

The large-scale study found out how fans view the football game, the connection of the club they support and more broadly what lessons that might provide for brands and marketers in all sectors.

Showcasing PureSpectrum’s quality and international reach and DVJ’s unique and innovative mass qual techniques, they heard first hand the 'voice of the fan' and found out what it takes to win as a football club and what that mean for all brands.

Key areas of focus include how fans feel they are treated by the sport and their clubs; what is done well; what is missing; and the fans’ emotional connection, passion or ‘pain points’.
