OUR STORY

Pioneering Sports Sponsorship Evaluation

Since Day 1, the Relo Metrics team has pushed past traditional boundaries in the sports sponsorship arena to ensure our clients are always a step ahead through innovative, intuitive data solutions. 

OUR ORIGIN

Why We Started Relo Metrics

We launched Relo Metrics in 2017, at the time as GumGum Sports, with a clear goal: to refresh an antiquated industry in need of modernization. We looked at the world of sports sponsorships and saw so much untapped potential stymied by outdated approaches. So we decided to act because we think you deserve better. Here’s how we provide you with more: 

  • Innovation Over Status Quo: Our dissatisfaction with traditional approaches propelled us toward technological innovation, eliminating spreadsheets from the equation.
  • Time-Sensitive Decision-Making: We recognized that slow data processing led to missed opportunities, so we made speed and real-time metrics our cornerstone features.
  • DIY Platform Development: Off-the-shelf solutions lacked specificity and agility, leading us to develop our robust in-house platform tailored to sports sponsorships' nuances.
  • Data Democracy: We are committed to making crucial data accessible and understandable for everyone involved — from front-office teams to sports marketers.
