Spoty powers sport to 3 month high (w.e 19th Dec)

Reading the Nation, for the 7 days to 19th December, focuses on Sport as interest in the BBC Sports Personality of the Year and Sir Lewis Hamilton’s on and off track exploits powered the category to a 3 month engagement high.

Thanks to our reach of over 99% of the UK’s online population, Ozone’s single user view of content consumption provides unrivalled insights to the stories that matter to our readers all across the UK.

Among this week’s notable insights, we have seen:

  • Sunday 19th December, the day the winners of SPOTY 2021 were announced, increased engagement with related categories as 12.9m combined Sport and TV page views grew +15% vs. the day before

  • Elsewhere, denied the 2021 F1 drivers title BUT picking up a knighthood for his services to diversity within the sport, Sir Lewis Hamilton’s exploits on and off track drove +55% weekly Motorsport page views growth
