Fame Media Tech (FMN) is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) technology start-up that aims to transform the visitor, fan, and customer experience through technology-driven data perspectives. FMN asserts that sport and hospitality sectors have suffered from customer and fan isolation during COVID-19. FMN application, n-gage.io, addresses this situation. The company argues that its portal, combined with storytelling and innovation in digital media, can help companies to positively influence user behaviour, enhance engagement, and improve loyalty. FMN claims that companies can judge the above metrics through data diagrams on its portal as well. The company's early-stage proof of concept discussions extend across sport, hospitality, and visitor attractions such as Wembley Park and Bohemians FC. FMN's exit strategy would be via a trade sale to a media or technology business.
