SPONSORSHIP & PROMOTION DraftKings is launching a new campaign ahead of the NFL season that will mark the first marketing initiative under Don Lane, SVP of Brand and Creative, who joined DraftKings after 21 years at Arnold Worldwide. The campaign will offer two creative executions — “Play” and “Dr. Aftkings” and come after Lane and his team conducted research that identified the drivers and barriers to playing DraftKings. In addition, the company announced the start of the 2017-2018 NFL season for daily fantasy football with a “Billion Dollar Lineup” challenge that gives football fans an opportunity to win $1 billion in the first week of NFL matchups by building the perfect fantasy lineup. The game is free to play and open to residents of all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, along with Canada (excluding Quebec), the United Kingdom, and Germany. Raycom Sports announced that Mellow Mushroom joined the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Official Corporate Partner program, landing extensive marketing rights across multiple platforms with benefits that include extensive television and marketing tie-ins with ACC Basketball and Football, as well as all Conference Championship events. Fanatics announced the addition of Yankees’ rookie Aaron Judge to its roster of exclusive athletes housed under the company’s memorabilia and collectibles division, Fanatics Authentic. The partnership will allow Fanatics Authentic to become the exclusive distributor of Judge’s first-ever assortment of officially licensed autographs and collectibles. DIGITAL & STREAMING WWE Network unveiled plans to stream SummerSlam live in Russian for the first time this weekend from Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

I’m excited to welcome them to the Cloud9 family and we’re all looking forward to adding to their already long list of accomplishments.” ROSTER MOVES SiriusXM named Mike Connolly as its new head of advertising sales where he will oversee SiriusXM’s ad sales efforts across its lineup of channels that take advertising, which includes entertainment, news, comedy and sports.
