Sports marketing and sponsorship valuation for fan-driven campaigns
Gemba combines sports marketing strategy with proprietary sponsorship analytics, operating Turnstile—a pricing and valuation tool positioned as the market standard for sponsorship deals. The tech stack (BigQuery, dbt, Airflow, Power BI, Looker) reflects a data-platform-first architecture; hiring is skewed toward marketing and research roles, with active work on fan-insight-driven campaigns and ROI measurement—core to a market where sponsorship valuation and portfolio optimization remain unsolved.
