We Make Sports Organizations Great Businesses

Empowering growth by breaking down silos, championing products and optimizing revenue and operations. We harness data, digital and innovation to create seamless experiences for fans and customers.

 

 

Our sports expertise

The sports industry is at a turning point. Rapid digitalization, evolving fan behaviors, shifting revenue models and new investment players are forcing organizations to rethink how they operate. Traditional revenue streams – such as media rights and sponsorships – can no longer sustain growth alone. Meanwhile, emerging opportunities in immersive fan engagement, athlete entrepreneurship and private equity investment are reshaping the landscape. Organizations that fail to adapt risk losing relevance in an industry where business excellence is just as important as on-field performance. 

At Elixirr, we don’t just advise sports organizations – we transform them into great businesses. Our expertise in strategy, operational excellence, digital transformation and data-driven decision-making enables our clients to compete and lead. We help organizations build sustainable revenue streams, optimize performance and future-proof their operations in an increasingly complex and competitive market. 

Our track record speaks for itself. We’ve helped the world’s most successful F1 team reduce the time it took their engineering function to plan and execute projects. Our data expertise enabled P3, pioneers in data-driven athlete development, to streamline performance analysis, from six hours to 30 minutes, showcasing how technology creates a competitive edge. Our insights team collaborated with a professional ice hockey team to launch its newest franchise team,  analysing the market, identifying fan segments and mapping the fan journey. This work culminated in a comprehensive fan landscape presentation for the board of directors, providing key insights to shape marketing communication and strategy. 

With investment in sports accelerating, we help organizations turn passion into profit. Our deep expertise in private equity, venture capital and sovereign wealth fund dynamics gives clients a strategic edge – maximizing value, navigating disruption and unlocking new revenue opportunities to build stronger, more sustainable sports businesses. 

Success in sports today is about more than winning games – it’s about building a business that can adapt, grow and lead. With Elixirr, you get more than a consulting firm. You get a partner that helps you challenge the status quo and build a sports organization that thrives – on and off the field.
