Playboy Baseball Championship

Goal: Reposition FanDuel’s Playboy Baseball Championship as once-in-a-lifetime experience vs. a big money event with nice scenery.

  1. At-event branding needs to be photo-worthy to capitalize on #instafamous attendees with large social followings.

  2. Use FOMO and envy to spread the word (better yet, gratitude, if you’re a plus-one).

  3. Lean on Playboy’s brand equity with FanDuel as a means to get there.
