Green Bay Packers
NFL Executive Summary
This is a fictitious work example created in order to demonstrate the technical data mining, web
analytics, presentation, and creative skills of Ron Snyder. Due to non-compete language in former
employment contract, the NFL website was selected for the following reasons:
• The business model closely parallels the NFL site.
• The architecture of the website is similar.
• The number of executive reports is very close.
Each quarter an Executive report for each NFL team is created providing Return on Investment (ROI)
metrics for all team specific assets accessed (advertising, marketing campaigns, and web traffic
usage).
Welcome to the 2009 2nd Quarter NFL Executive Summary for the Green Bay Packers. This 2
page dashboard outlines the assets and value to the Green Bay Packers for participating in the NFL website.
The Packers saw INCREASED website visitors metric of 11% over the previous quarter and an INCREASE
of 49% over the prior quarter from a year ago, indicating a positive growth in website traffic to the NFL.com
website. Similarly, the Unique Visitors metric saw a minimal DECREASE of 1% over the 1st quarter of
2009, yet a substantial INCREASE of 34% over the 2008 2nd quarter.
In summary, we are excited to continue working with the Green Bay Packer organization to provide
optimum NFL football coverage via NFL.com and exposure for the Green Bay Packers. Our suggestions
include providing timely advertising banner media, and submitting additional media content for all media
sections (blog, news, NFL network, etc.).
Sincerely,
NFL Marketing Team
