Dreams Realized
The NFL Draft is simultaneously the culmination of years’ worth of work for rising stars in the game and the beginning of professional careers that will hinge on continued effort and growth. For one weekend every April, representatives from all 32 franchises meet to determine the fate of hundreds of prospects and build a foundation for future on-field success. This year’s draft from Las Vegas was televised on ABC, ESPN, and the NFL Network, affording teams and their fans opportunities to provide instant reactions and draft grades on social media. We utilized MVP’s social platform to monitor content on the organizations’ owned Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter channels to identify immediate value generated for their partners. Draft cards posted on team social channels immediately after a selection are ideal for introducing a player and his background while also showcasing sponsors in graphics and copy.

Packers, Schneider Top Big Boards

Team social posts introducing selections in the Class of 2022 consistently featured logo placements or copy featuring their partners. Consequently, sponsors received significant surges of brand value throughout draft weekend. The biggest beneficiary from the three-day event was Schneider Trucking, which secured $100,191 in social brand value from its partnership with the Green Bay Packers. LifeBrand, Lumen, and Caesars Sportsbook also exceeded $50K in social brand value during the draft. We encourage you to navigate our interactive chart below to discover which team posts were most valuable, earned the most engagements, and created the most impressions.

Top of the Class

Our social platform identified the top 10 draft cards shared by teams throughout the weekend, and leading the list was Green Bay’s announcement of linebacker Quay Walker as the 22nd overall pick. With 10,616 engagements and 1.09 million impressions, it generated $14,929 worth of brand value for Schneider Trucking. Green Bay’s pick later in the first round – defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt at 28th overall – ranked third on our list thanks to an additional $7,768 in brand value for Schneider. The Detroit Lions’ draft card for second overall pick Aidan Hutchinson created unique symmetry, as it generated the second-most brand value among all social draft cards, earning $8,277 for Powerhome Solar.
