PHASE 1: RECRUITMENT
After discussing your campaign goals (including segmentation of athletes by sport, gender, location, follower size, etc...), we spend up to 3 days recruiting athletes to be considered for your campaign. We reach out directly to our 5,000+ members as well as a greater audience of 70,000 additional D1 collegiate athletes. We recruit through a combination of SMS, Email and Postgame App notifications.
PHASE 2: SELECTION
After recruitment has completed, we provide the brand with an extensive list of the athletes who have opted-in for consideration. The list is sorted by athlete value - determined in part by our own calculations and past history of having worked with the athlete(s).
During this phase we offer suggestions in order to help maximize the brands' budget.
PHASE 3: NEGOTIATION
After selections have been made, Postgame begins negotiating with each athlete and/or their agent. Our experience of working with thousands of college athletes gives us a strong sense of their worth - allowing us to expedite the process with a fair offer - and one that makes the best use of the brands budget.
PHASE 4: CONTRACT
After the offer has been accepted by the athlete, we generate a custom contract between us and the athlete that includes campaign expectations, payment, content rights, and more.
Each college expects the athlete to submit a contract to their respective compliance office prior to participating in a campaign and receiving payment.

Congrats on being selected to be a part of the NIL campaign with CON-CRET Creatine and Postgame. You'll be asked to promote the CON-CRET products, specifically available at Walmart.
Instead of making it feel like a traditional ad, the goal is to weave the product into your content so that it fits seamlessly into whatever story you’re telling. Whether it’s part of your daily routine, a workout, or a funny moment, the key is to keep things relatable and true to your own style. By approaching it this way, you’re not forcing the product onto your audience—you’re showing them how it genuinely fits into your life.
So, have fun with it & be yourself!

Key Messaging Points:
Convenience: Smaller jar with smaller, more efficient doses - be sure to highlight how many servings (48) are in the small jar.
Product Quality: Emphasize that CON-CRĒT is the only creatine made in the USA and the only Creatine HCl that is NSF certified.
Health Benefits: Highlight the broader health benefits of creatine, such as immune support, mood enhancement, and cellular energy, positioning it as more than just a gym supplement. Creatine supplies energy to every cell in the body.
No Side Effects: Stress the absence of negative side effects commonly associated with creatine monohydrate, such as bloating, water retention, and cramping.
Versatility: Show that CON-CRĒT® fits seamlessly into various routines, supporting everything from intense workouts to overall health.
Creative Video Concepts:
Negative Hook with Late Product Introduction: Start the video by highlighting common problems with other creatine types (e.g., bloating, water retention) and then pivot to introduce CON-CRĒT® as the solution.
Humor Content: Use humor to engage the audience, perhaps by parodying the struggles of using other creatine types versus the ease of CON-CRĒT.
Walmart Shopping Spree: The athlete goes to their local Walmart to pick up CON-CRĒT, emphasizing accessibility and convenience.
Full day of eating: Show your viewers what you eat in a day and nonchalantly introduce CON-CRET as a part of your daily diet.
