What 11 Arbolus experts think of IMG

NPS scores among customers skew moderately positive, with most in the 7–10 range, although dissatisfaction is pronounced in certain digital-native and esports segments. Renewal intent is high among traditional sports and entertainment organizations, but mixed or negative in esports, where loss of confidence in engagement quality is noted. The vast majority of customers are in the active/long-term implementation stage, indicating stickiness among established clients. Key feedback themes include strong appreciation for IMG's global network and brand reputation, but consistent concerns from some segments over lack of personalization, perceived ROI, and unmet sales support.Overall Customer Sentiment: Neutral to Positive
