Forget about London\u2019s soccer or San Francisco\u2019s \u201ccool teams\u201d\u2014Boston\u2019s the real deal. Not only do we host four major league teams\u2014meaning there are live games all year round\u2014but these teams are regarded as the most traditional for their winning history and immensely loyal fan base in each of their respective leagues. Don\u2019t take my word for it\u2014hear LeBron say it:<\/p>\n<p>One of these teams is NBA\u2019s most feted franchise, the Boston Celtics (17 championships!) Legends have painted their skin with the Celtics\u2019 colors. From Bill Russel to Shaquille O\u2019Neal, the court has shined with their colossal skills. However, the team is currently experiencing a long drought of championships since 2008, contrasting with other Bostonian teams that are enjoying the sweetness of success. The Red Sox won the 2018 World Series and the New England Patriots won Super Bowl LIII, making them the current champions of their respective leagues.<\/p>\n<p>So, how have the Celtics managed to stay in the Top 5 NBA teams with the highest attendance at home games? How do they compete with giants for the loyalty of the fans? What makes them so magnetic?<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the efforts of Hult student clubs \u201cThe Business of Sports\u201d and \u201cBasketball Club,\u201d Hult hosted a conference by Winston Jones, Chief Marketing Analyst for the Boston Celtics on Hult&#8217;s Boston campus. \u201cWorking in sports doesn\u2019t provide a straight path, unlike other industries like finance or consulting\u201d, says Jones, who previously worked in the financial industry at Bain Capital. However, his passion for basketball put him on a path that led to the marketing team of a major NBA team.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18091\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18091\" style=\"width: 778px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"wp-image-18091\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2019\/03\/HULT-Celtics-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"778\" height=\"584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2019\/03\/HULT-Celtics-1.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2019\/03\/HULT-Celtics-1-500x375.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2019\/03\/HULT-Celtics-1-460x345.jpeg 460w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2019\/03\/HULT-Celtics-1-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2019\/03\/HULT-Celtics-1-1024x768.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 778px) 100vw, 778px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18091\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Winston Jones, Chief Marketing Analyst for the Boston Celtics, talks to students on Hult Boston campus.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>According to Jones, analytics is the translator that makes data meaningful and actionable. The term didn\u2019t even exist 20 years ago. However, current marketers have to search for insights that the data can give and demystify them with a high powered software, like Python. Once the data is clean, it is easy to create meaningful segmentations to generate optimal pricing strategies. For example, says Jones \u201cthere are tickets that will probably never rise in price because we want to maintain core fans and we want families that have been following the team for many years to keep cheering for their team, and through data analytics we can price accordingly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is, however, the process of analyzing the data that is the most crucial and assiduous task of all, and one that can reap the biggest rewards. \u201cYou have to dig deep into the data and try to come up with a meaningful solution to some of the problems and challenges that your company or organization is currently facing,\u201d says Jones. Shresth Sethi, President of the Marketing Club, added that \u201cdata analytics helps to identify full patterns or trends for a consumer by converting data into valuable insights. It has helped marketing to deliver the right messages to the right customers and improve marketing ROI.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For a big NBA club like the Celtics, Jones expected to find a lot of people already using big data tools in order to shape the marketing strategy. It turns out that they didn\u2019t. He had to pioneer it. His first task was to come up with a pricing strategy for a specific segment. \u201cI didn\u2019t know where to start looking,\u201d Jones recalls, \u201cso I figured I\u2019d start researching in the secondary market to have an idea of how much volatility I should expect. Then we developed an algorithm to predict an ideal price\u00a0so that we could benchmark against the secondary market.\u201d It sounds easy, but it took Jones weeks to come up with this solution.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18094\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18094\" style=\"width: 778px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"wp-image-18094\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2019\/03\/HULT-Celtics-6.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"778\" height=\"584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2019\/03\/HULT-Celtics-6.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2019\/03\/HULT-Celtics-6-500x375.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2019\/03\/HULT-Celtics-6-460x345.jpeg 460w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2019\/03\/HULT-Celtics-6-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2019\/03\/HULT-Celtics-6-1024x768.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 778px) 100vw, 778px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18094\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hult students enjoy meeting Winston Jones from the Boston Celtics office after his talk on campus.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The future of marketing resides in the power of analyzing data. There is no doubt about it. Shresth states that \u201cmarketers need to be proactive in identifying patterns and customer needs\u2026 Data analysis not only helps to predict trends\u00a0but also allows us to give personalized services to clients that end up creating a long-term relationship between them and the company. Determining market shifts before your competitors is crucial if you want to get ahead of the competition. Considering all the information that we have today, and the growing trend of data analytics, it indicates that big data will continue to dominate in the\u00a0future in marketing..\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is not only about pricing strategy, but also how people interact with the team in social media. The Celtics\u2019 marketing team has to monitor how users respond to the content that they upload. They have to create specific content for specific targets in specific social networks and then measure the impact of the posts. They also have to monitor how to add value to the fans inside the TD Garden. Allocating the budget to all these efforts is not an easy task, but using data as an ally, Jones has figured out a way to effectively maximize the impact of media content. \u201cThe business of basketball is volatile and the organization has to be flexible enough to adapt to changing circumstances. That is why we are constantly looking for ways to improve and adapt to the changing world of marketing and social media\u201d, the same approach as the Hult <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/masters\/business-analytics\/\">Master&#8217;s in Business Analytics<\/a>.
