2. WELCOME
Welcome to Nielsen’s State of the Media: Year in Sports 2010, a compilation of media highlights, advertiser trends and
consumer insights from across The Nielsen Company. Inside these pages you’ll find a wealth of information to provide you
with an almanac of US sports fan consumption across leading sports properties in 2010. Nielsen is committed to providing our
industry with the necessary tools and insights to stay on top of the constantly evolving sports media landscape, empowering
the Sports Marketing community to leverage information that drives more effective decision-making.
The last twelve months added up to one of the most exciting years in the sports media world; and as Americans flocked to TV,
computer and mobile screens, Nielsen was there every step of the way:
• Drew Brees leading the Saints to an inspiring Super Bowl XLIV victory that captured the hearts of New Orleans’
“Who Dat?” nation and American football fans overall.
• A 2010 Winter Olympics that transformed relative unknowns like Lindsey Vonn, Ryan Miller and Evan Lysacek
into household names.
• The 2010 World Cup, which featured some dramatic heart-stopping moments by Team USA and introduced
Americans to a new generation of worldwide soccer stars.
• An NCAA Final Four championship that saw underdog Butler fall just an inch short of beating the heavily favored
Duke.
• Some new faces in the championship circle (Chicago Blackhawks, San Francisco Giants) and some more familiar
ones as well (Jimmie Johnson, LA Lakers).
Some of the biggest sports stories in 2010, though, were not about the success of teams and players on the field but rather
about some players’ behavior off the field. “The Decision” by LeBron James to take his “talents to South Beach,” for example,
drew a swirling controversy that kept social media users and TV pundits buzzing for months. Stars like Tiger Woods, Ben
Roethlisberger, and Brett Favre also faced high-profile off-the-field challenges.
But even as athletes like these fall, there are other sports figures that rise to the spotlight for all the right reasons. That’s
why Nielsen is excited to feature its new Nielsen / E-Poll N-Score, which measures the brand impact of professional athletes
and sports personalities. N-Scores allow advertisers to make smart marketing decisions on commercial endorsements and
spokespersons. Now marketers can quantify Lindsey Vonn’s emergence as an Olympic superstar, or how Michael Vick’s
comeback on the gridiron may help him rise from his previous off-field issues.
We hope you enjoy these highlights from Nielsen’s vault of consumer and media insights. 2010 continued to prove that sports
content, across all media platforms, is among the most popular and engaging genres and is well positioned to thrive in a
rapidly evolving multi-screen world.
Sincerely,
Stephen Master
Vice President, Sports
The Nielsen Company
