QuestionPro Teams up with NISA Soccer as Official Research and Insights Partner

League & teams will use QuestionPro CX to further understand & deepen fan relationships NISA and QuestionPro will enable real-time, in-stadium, TV and online fan voting for “Man of the Match,” democratizing this time-honored tradition and boosting fan engagement

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — QuestionPro, a global leader in online survey and research services, is now the official survey and research partner of the National Independent Soccer Association (NISA), as well as its go-to solution for fan polls running on their channels throughout the League’s current fall season.

NISA, established in 2017, is a U.S. professional men’s soccer league association and recently introduced NISA Nation, a league that provides amateur independent clubs a groundbreaking path to professional status, ensuring the stability and sustainability of a truly open system.

This season, NISA and QuestionPro will enable online voting for the Man of the Match for fans in the stadium as well as those watching online or the broadcast on beIN SPORTS XTRA. Traditionally, the Man of the Match is selected by the broadcast team, and in some cases from in-stadium votes. With NISA’s new online voting capability via QuestionPro, fans around the world will be able to cast their votes, giving players of both teams an equal opportunity for recognition.

“The customer experience is one of the most, if not the most, important criteria in building brand loyalty,” said Ken Peterson, president of Customer Experience at QuestionPro. “This partnership will offer NISA the opportunity to better understand the fans and drive engagement and loyalty at both the league and team levels to benefit the league, the teams, the fans and their sponsors.”

NISA Commissioner John Prutch welcomed the new partnership with QuestionPro which will provide survey and insight analysis for the fast-growing pro soccer league and its member clubs throughout the U.S.

“We are thrilled to partner with QuestionPro as our official research and analysis partner,” said Commissioner Prutch. “We will be working closely with QuestionPro to better understand our rapidly-growing fan base. Ours is a league rooted in the community engagement of the clubs. We’re very interested to hear what supporters and partners think about our league, and we’ll be using the findings to help further improve and grow our League, clubs, players and staff at all NISA levels.”

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
