A $10K seat, turned into a movement.
Challenge: Turn a single high-stakes moment into a campaign the whole poker world would talk about, and route the attention back to a brand.
What PMG did: Built an experiential giveaway around a $10,000 WSOP main-event buy-in with champion Jamie Gold. One winner earned a once-in-a-lifetime seat at the table, and the road to that seat became the content: gated entries, creator amplification, and a story engineered to be documented from the first post to the final hand.
- An everyday entrant taken from unknown to unforgettable, their WSOP run captured as the campaign's story spine
- Coverage carried well beyond paid channels, picked up across poker and entertainment press
- A measurable surge in partner app installs during and after flight
- A library of owned footage that keeps working long after the tournament ended
