Live intelligence that kept travellers safe at a high-profile sporting event
The timing made it sensitive: global media attention, strong political undercurrents and the presence of the US President. The client needed a partner who could track real issues, filter out noise and give them early warning of anything that might affect staff on the ground. They brought us in months before the event to build the right feeds and ensure steady reporting.
Challenge
Social platforms churned out vast amounts of speculation, criticism and targeted posts. Local sentiment swung quickly, and security conditions changed as crowds built. Midway through the event, fan behaviour spiked and created new concerns. A presidential appearance brought another surge in security activity. The client needed clarity in a landscape where signals and noise looked the same.
Approach
Our Americas intelligence specialists set thresholds for what mattered and used a blend of OSINT tools, social media monitoring, digital records and regional insight.
They screened high volumes of content and extracted what held real value. Real-time alerts and daily updates reached the client’s risk managers, giving them a steady picture of emerging issues.
The team stayed available round the clock so the client could request deeper checks whenever needed.
Outcome
They could see early signs of tension, track local changes and plan calmly. Our updates helped them brief travellers, adjust plans and stay ahead of any shifts without guessing. Their feedback showed how much they valued having a single source of truth in a noisy, high-stakes environment.
