Rio 2016, the opportunity for operators to allure new viewers

All sports fans out there, Rio 2016 will take you closer to the action, turning athletes and fans into content producers and transforming the experience of watching the Games with social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat.

Besides enabling new levels of interaction with athletes, social media companies are discovering, that their users value above all real-time content and live video. “Snapchat will give users an insider’s peek into the feeling and the atmosphere of being in Rio de Janeiro,” Ian Francis, social media producer at Rio 2016.
