DraftKings problems

Their bottleneck is compliant creative at scale.

  1. Volume. Sportsbook, Casino, DFS and Pick6, DK Horse, Jackpocket. Each product needs its own promo stream, every week.
  2. Compliance. Dozens of regulated states, each with its own rules and responsible-gaming disclaimers. Manual production does not scale.
  3. Seasonality. NFL kickoff, March Madness, the Super Bowl. Creative is needed in days, not weeks.

Speed and compliance are not a nice-to-have for DraftKings. They are the business.

The territory

One account. Two lenses. A whole portfolio to expand into.

How we sell

Enterprise and Select. Two motions, one account.

01 · Enterprise
Demo → pilot → enterprise subscription. Pure partnership sales. Owns the recurring revenue.
02 · Select
One flagship co-created campaign with a DraftKings property: a league moment, an athlete, DK Network. Builds trust and press, then converts to subscription.

Motion 02 is the playbook adidas and PUMA used to outpace Nike. Format reference: Higgsfield × Daily Paper. The DraftKings-facing version follows the same structure.

Risks
Athlete likeness + AI
Rights clearance workflow from day one. Non-named creative until cleared.
Gambling regulation
Jurisdiction rule library. Responsible-gaming disclaimers baked into every output. Human review before anything publishes.
Public-company procurement
Enter through the pilot, not a big contract. Security and legal review starts in week one, in parallel.
Brand safety
Fine-tuned brand guardrails and an approval loop. DraftKings signs off, we produce.
The machine

FanDuel. Fanatics. Whoop. NBA teams. Any brand drowning in compliant creative.
