Partner Solutions
How we help our partners engage audiences with content, tech and advertising
Planet Sport Labs
Planet Sport Labs is our in-house studio, developing exciting content and engagement solutions across our titles and elsewhere.
We create exciting multi-platform content, interactive games and smart functionality that generate true user engagement.
We carefully embed brands into what we produce. Our branded content campaigns use the same writers and producers who appear on our titles, applying their usual high standards to create truly authentic stories.
Our Approach
Storytelling is the key
Our greatest asset is our ability to tell stories. When we work with brands we know what stories will resonate with fans that have been consuming our content for decades.
Audio & Video
We work with award-winning producers and cinematographers to create studio shows, on-location films, live events, motion-graphic videos and podcasts for our own brands and partners.
Engagement Focused
We use an array of tech to engage our audiences through quizzes, fantasy and prediction games and bet builders (to name a few) that put brands at the heart of the user experience across our titles.
Paddy Power
We integrated Paddy Power into the Football365 Big Weekend show for the 2020-21 season with on-screen branding, betting tips and scrolling match odds. Meanwhile the much-loved Cheeky Punt feature on Football365 was tailored exclusively to the bookmaker, with betting tips provided for every single Premier League game.
Betfair
We partnered with Betfair for the 2020-21 season, embedding the brand into a new weekly tactical preview of the Premier League. We provided data-driven match preview videos for every single Premier League game to run across their channels plus collaborated with their social media team on live streams, quizzes and watchalongs.
