Sportradar and Arkadium Announce Exclusive Partnership to Transform the Way Fans Consume Sports Content Online

Sportradar’s powerful data, coupled with Arkadium’s expertise in gamification and user engagement, deepens contextual and interactive storytelling for sports fans

NEW YORK--()--Sportradar, the global leader in analyzing and leveraging the power of sports data and Arkadium, the company innovating visual, interactive content for more than 500 of the world’s leading publishers and brands, today announced a multi-year exclusive partnership designed to revolutionize the way that fans interact with sports data online. The partnership, which marries Sportradar’s worldwide real-time sports data, with Arkadium’s interactive AI product, InHabit, will for the first time deliver AI-powered visualizations of sports data to millions of fans and bettors around the world.

Sportradar is obsessed with enhancing the fan experience and we are continually striving to create engaging and unique products that offer the best solutions for publishers and broadcasters to monetize,” said Jonathan Earle, Customer Director, Sports Media, Sportradar. “The way in which sports fans are consuming content has dramatically changed and fans are looking for more interactive, visual stories to help keep them informed of the latest sports news. Partnering with Arkadium will help us to lead the next generation of sports engagement.”

Arkadium’s InHabit delivers unprecedented audience engagement at scale. Currently reaching 70M US-based sports fans monthly, its patent-pending technology reads any article and automatically inserts a relevant interactive editorial unit that engages the reader and extends the article it appears on.

Our partnership represents the future of sports marketing,” said Kenny Rosenblatt, President & Co-Founder, Arkadium, “one where fans are deeply engaging with the players and teams they love, while providing publishers and advertisers the time, attention and relevant audiences that they’re looking for.”

Sportradar has an exclusive agreement with Arkadium to create factives for English Premier League matches and UEFA Champions League matches in a number of languages. Additional sports included are NBA, NFL, MLB and NCAA Football and Basketball.
