The Sports Consultancy (TSC) and Dr Daniel Fujiwara have recently launched TSC Impact: a new global service to provide the most comprehensive measure of sport and major events that quantifies socio-economic, media and environmental impact.

The new service responds to the growing demand from governments, investors, rights holders and brands to evidence the socio-economic and media exposure of sport and major events. TSC Impact is built upon rigorous, standardised methods to quantify sport’s role in stimulating economic growth, as well as its role in driving healthier, more inclusive and more resilient societies.
