Influencers are set to dominate the 2024 Olympics, with social media expected to attract more viewers than traditional TV. A UTA study reveals that a significant majority of US audiences plan to follow the Games on social media, driven by a preference among Gen Z and Millennials for creator-driven content over traditional broadcasts. This shift has led NBC and major platforms to enlist influencers for enhanced coverage during the Paris Games.
Influencers such as YouTuber Kai Cenat and "Call Her Daddy" host Alex Cooper are heading to Paris to contribute to the Olympics coverage. Social media's growing role is evident, with 78% of US viewers intending to engage with Olympic content on these platforms. The study also shows that 41% of these viewers will spend the most time on social media, and 75% are more inclined to follow coverage from celebrities and influencers compared to the 2021 Games.
UTA IQ's survey of 6,600 US consumers aged 15 to 45 highlights this trend, with TikTok and Snapchat expected to be key platforms for Olympic content. NBC's collaboration with influencers and major platforms like Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and Snap reflects this shift. The study also shows that YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok are the most popular platforms for Olympic coverage, with viewers particularly interested in unique and entertaining content from influencers focused on lifestyle and behind-the-scenes insights.
