A world-class esports organisation operating at unprecedented scale
They are a Saudi-based global organisation in esports that brings together the world's top players and teams across 25+ game titles in a multi-week international competition.
- Viewers from 128 countries across every major region
- Audiences dispersed across 29 streaming platforms simultaneously
- Billions of social impressions across event cycles
- Coverage from 4,367+ media outlets worldwide
Their business model is deeply sponsor-dependent - with hundreds of commercial partners, government stakeholders, and publishers investing at scale based on the organisation's ability to prove reach, media value, and audience engagement. For an organisation at this level, analytics isn't a reporting function. It is the commercial foundation.
As event scale grew, the gap between how complex their data environment had become and how they were actually managing it became a critical risk to both sponsor relationships and operational execution.
Business Challenge:
Managing one of the world's largest events in esports across 29 platforms, 128 countries, and billions of impressions - while proving ROI to sponsors with billions in investment - exposed severe limitations in their existing analytics infrastructure.
Fragmented data across 29 streaming platforms Data from Twitch, YouTube, and 27 other channels lived in separate systems with no unified view of total audience, peak CCV (Concurrent Viewers), or hours watched across the event.
No real-time visibility during live broadcasts There was no ability to answer 'how many people are watching right now?' or 'which game is trending at this minute?' - leaving live decisions disconnected from live reality.
Unable to analyse viewership trends across regions Without a unified platform, it was nearly impossible to understand how audiences behaved across different regions, identify peak engagement moments, or run accurately targeted ads during live broadcasts.
Difficulty proving ROI to sponsors and government stakeholders Disconnected data made it nearly impossible to assemble a unified picture of reach, impressions, and media value - forcing analysts to manually compile reports from multiple systems after every event.
No comparative analytics across game titles or regions There was no way to determine which game titles outperformed others, which regions were gaining audience momentum, or where production and content resources should be reallocated.
Why the Problem Mattered:
Fragmented data had direct commercial consequences
For an organisation operating at this scale, this wasn't just an operational gap — it had direct commercial consequences:
- Lost ad revenue High-value slots timed on instinct, not audience peaks
- Sponsor credibility at risk Delayed, manually assembled reports undermined partner confidence
- Blind during live broadcasts No real-time view meant reactive, not proactive, event operations
- Growth left unmeasured No way to identify top-performing titles, regions, or content formats
- Analyst capacity wasted Teams spent days on data wrangling instead of insight and strategy
- Scalability blocked Manual infrastructure couldn't keep pace as event scope expanded
For an event of this scale, delayed or fragmented insights limited audience reach, content performance, and strategic planning.
The Lumenore Solution:
An end-to-end analytics platform built for live, global-scale eventsLumenore implemented a unified analytics solution that ingested data from every platform, surface in real time, and gave every team - from operations to commercial - the intelligence they needed to act with confidence.
Unified data ingestion across all 29 platforms
Lumenore pulled data from all streaming platforms, social networks, and media monitoring tools automatically - eliminating manual collection and ensuring every viewership, engagement, and impression metric was captured in real time without analyst intervention.
Real-time live event intelligence
Consolidated all streaming data into a live dashboard showing concurrent viewership, engagement spikes, platform-by-platform breakdown, and moment-by-moment audience trends during broadcasts - enabling leaders to answer any operational question instantly.
Minute-by-minute ad and sponsor slot optimisation
By tracking viewership peaks in real time across all platforms, teams could time ads, sponsor shoutouts, and branded segments to exact peak moments - maximising visibility for partners and driving measurable ROI improvement.
Automated sponsor ROI dashboards
Built unified sponsor reporting dashboards that automatically aggregated reach, impressions, media value, and platform-specific performance - giving commercial teams a single, credible view to share with sponsors and government stakeholders without manual preparation.
Cross-title and cross-region comparative analytics
Enabled performance benchmarking across 25+ game titles and 128 countries - identifying which titles were driving the most viewership and engagement, which regions were gaining momentum, and where production resources would deliver the highest return.
Self-service analytics for operational and commercial teams
Enabled production, content, PR, and commercial teams to independently explore performance metrics and answer their own operational questions - without waiting on analysts or data team pull requests.
Customer Speaks:
“Before Lumenore, our reporting team spent days after every session stitching together data from 29 platforms manually. Now we have a live view of everything - viewership, impressions, sponsor metrics - in one place. During our last event, we spotted a viewership peak mid-broadcast and reallocated ad slots in real time. That kind of agility simply wasn't possible before. It changed how we operate and how we talk to our sponsors.”
