For media & publishers
Give your audience a reason to come back between matches.
National and regional papers, broadcasters, podcast networks, newsletter publishers. Fanzava builds a branded prediction league inside your publication so the audience that came for the match stays through the week.
The challenge
You know this challenge.
The audience that turns up for fixtures and scatters between them.
Match days bring the traffic in. The days between are where you have to earn the next visit, and right now there isn't much structurally pulling readers back.
The engagement metric that flatters the page, not the publication.
Time on page is healthy. Pageviews per session are fine. The number that matters, whether they come back next week, is the one nobody on the call wants to talk about.
The audience habit you don't yet own.
Readers go to social media, prediction apps and group chats for the Monday post-mortem. The natural conversation around the fixture is happening somewhere else.
What changes
What changes when a publisher runs on Fanzava.
A weekly habit, not a daily impression.
Prediction rounds open and lock on the fixture rhythm. The audience returns every week to make their predictions and every week to check the leaderboard. The week between matches becomes engagement, not silence.
Audience time, not just audience visits.
A prediction league pulls readers into a structured weekly habit: checking results, making predictions, watching the leaderboard. The engagement numbers every editor cares about move in the same direction at the same time.
Inventory you didn't have before.
Sponsor a round. Sponsor the leaderboard. Sponsor the weekly recap. New surfaces to monetise, none of them displacing the journalism.

Due diligence
Questions media teams ask.
Can the leaderboard live inside our existing article pages?
Yes, through one of two paths. Leaderboards run on a custom domain (for example leaderboards.yourpaper.ie) that can be linked or referenced from any article. For deeper integration directly inside article templates, full API access is available from Pro upwards, so your editorial dev team can render leaderboards in your existing front-end framework. Webhook events fire on participation, predictions and engagement so the data flows back into your CMS and analytics in near real time.
Does it work with our subscription system?
Yes, through SSO and webhooks. SSO connects your existing subscription identity system so subscribers move into the prediction league without signing in again, and access can be limited to subscribers if you want to position it as a paywall benefit. Webhooks fire on signup, prediction and engagement events, so subscriber engagement data flows back into your CRM in near real time.
Can we sell sponsorship inventory inside the experience?
Yes. Fanzava ships native ad placements across leaderboard footers, sidebar units, post-prediction interstitials, round reminder emails, results emails, weekly digests and mobile banners. From Starter onwards you can upload sponsor creatives directly; Enterprise unlocks programmatic ad serving through DV360 and Google Ad Manager. The advertising specification names exact placement dimensions for creative production.
How does it handle an All-Ireland final-sized traffic spike?
Built for it. Fanzava runs on Cloudflare Workers with Neon PostgreSQL through Hyperdrive, serverless from end to end, scaling with traffic. The platform is engineered to handle audience surges from the biggest fixtures without anyone stepping in. Enterprise tier includes an uptime SLA.
