Decoding Fandom: Insights For Understanding & Building Connections

Fans cheer at a concert. Unconquered is fandom powered creative agency in New York City.

If you asked us to pick the most powerful force in brand building over the past few years, the answer would be easy: it’s fandom. We’ve seen it transform brands through our work in sports, athletic apparel and footwear. And we can see it across culture, showing up in people waiting in line for Old Bay tattoos to Logan Paul’s Prime beverage skyrocketing into the beverage market and overtaking a legacy brand as an official sponsor of UFC. But for most companies, understanding and building fandom just isn’t part of the marketing mix. And those that fail to do so are risking their long-term relevance.

What it breaks down to, for us as an agency, is that fandom = passion. Call it our agency KPI. We are fascinated and moved by the emotion that inspires people to stand in line for days at a time, or go bare chested to sports games in deep winter. So we set out to answer, “What drives fans?”, and what we discovered was anything but simple. A culmination of quantitative data and research, we created a report called Decoding Fandom, to share critical insights that help marketers win today’s fans and create fandom-inspired cultural relevance. It’s our primer on how contemporary fandom works, what makes fans tick, and how to build brand fandom in collaboration with them.
