Connect

Brands with Fans Through Content

We're experts in creating sponsorship opportunities and engagement through our activations. Our tools and techniques will create valuable new ways for brands to engage with the passionate community to drive more revenue for the platform.

The OSU + team will build and maintain an ecosystem for fans to engage, buy, sell and promote products and experiences.

Our team will manage the platform, content, and community.

Initiative Goals

Creating value

to drive revenue

Through the online ecosystem we build specifically for the University and Players, we'll design various verticals to capture revenue through fans, members, partners, and sponsors.

STUDENT-ATHLETE REVENUE SOURCES

The first vertical of revenue is direct-to-consumer products and content.

Product & Platform Referrals

Commission on fans who join the platform or purchase eligible products. Each athlete can get their own link they can share and will get a commission on products purchased or fans who pay to join the platform.

Digital Avatars

We create 3D Avatars for every sport and athlete. When fans buy Avatars of the Athletes, our team 3D prints the model and sends it to the fan while a cut goes back to support the student-athletes. Digital Versions will also be sold as NFTs.

3D Printed Avatar Models

Fans will be able to purchase a 3D printed version of Student Athletes' Avatar on demand.

Digital Personal Experiences

Students who choose to participate in Cameo-like messaging, exclusive video conferencing events, or various other digital content for compensation.

NFTs

Beyond online content and streaming access, we create a full primary and secondary NFT marketplace. There will be opportunity for players to sell NFTs where they will receive compensation on the primary sale and residual royalties.

OSU+ Content Conributor

We will have rates for submitting content, articles, interviews, etc to the ecosystem. Similar to the player's tribune.

Licensed Photos

Licensed photos are available for purchase to businesses or donors for selective use.

Collectibles and Merchandise

Our platform is capable of being a marketplace for auction or fixed priced items from players.

Dynamic Sale Types

CONSUMER products

The first vertical of revenue is direct-to-consumer products and content.

Digital Memberships

Your fans and customers will have access to exclusive content, products, and opportunities based on their membership level. You can set various price/access tiers and give discounts for purchasing an annual subscription vs monthly.

Digital Avatars

Fans and Athletes can scan their face to generate an interactive 3D model and avatar they can share to social media, download, or even have 3D printed and sent to their homes.

NFTs

Beyond online content and streaming access, we create a full primary and secondary NFT marketplace with exclusive content. Customers can buy sell and trade without needing a digital wallet and can pay with a credit card. You will make money on the primary and secondary sales of every NFT.

Collectibles and Merchandise

Beyond the low-logistics digital products listed above, the system can also sell traditional items such as memorabilia and collectibles. These are often paired with NFTs, but are not required to be.

Dynamic Sale Types

Event-Specific Passes

For high-value events, you can charge for access to specific content independently of membership access. Examples include specific games, early access to online experiences, or anything worth the purchase.

branded engagements

Our rewards platform allows you to drive action and engagement by gamifying key activities that are highly valuable for partners and brands.

Sponsored Activities

We can reward members and visitors with exclusive content, entries to win sweepstakes or even unlock NFTs when they engage with you or your partner's content. This is an ideal sponsorship opportunity for brands to get high engagement around their brand and content. See below for more info on these various rewardable actions.

Click Here to see the list of gamified actions we support. 

Featured Content

There are various ways to incorporate brand exposure through content in the systems. From marquee placement of content to featured video content and even NFTs. We will ensure brands have unique and effective ways to pay for valuable exposure.

Commissioned Content

As brands look to have a more personalized and engaging connection to your customers, we can help create content you can charge for as a new revenue vertical. Examples include animated content, branded email features, NFTs, and more.

platform advertisement

Beyond the unique and highly customized options above, your properties will also accommodate areas for tradition digital advertising.

Dynamic Ad Placement

Many brands have a library of standard sizes and formats for digital advertisements. We can incorporate that content as a more traditional revenue vertical if a brand is looking for fast, simple activation.

Featured Content in Messaging

Brands and partners can pay to have content and features in both transactional and "newsletter" style emails and updates from your site.

Our library of gamified actions drives value to your sponsors while offering engaging benefits to your members.

The OSU+ platform will leverage the following features and functionality to drive more sales and engagement for you.

Referral and Recruiting

Who better to convince new users to join than one of their friends or family members? We allow you to reward your users for recruiting other new members to the program. On average, 18% of the members in our programs were recruited by other members. 

Personalized Social Sharing

Posts shared by users reach 15-35% of their followers as opposed to brand/page posts which reach less than 5% of their followers. We allow you to create personalized social media posts (bypassing ad filters) that users earn rewards for sharing on Facebook, Twitter, and more.

Custom Surveys

Ask your users anything you would like to know and they will be rewarded for completing the survey. Surveys can include images and custom question types and are an ideal way to collect product feedback, have users participate in decisions, or gather key information.

Points for Scanning

Setup custom QR codes, NFC tags, or scan an item and reward users for following the link back to the program.

  • Put in broadcast to reward viewership
  • Add to check/receipt for quick proof of purchase
  • Put NCF Tag at physical locations for tap to earn checkpoints
  • Add QR code inside packaging for easy proof of purchase

Gamify Social Media

We can connect with your Social Media feeds and give users points or rewards for viewing each post through the program. This is a great evergreen tactic where users can always earn more points by viewing your latest posts on the platform.

Quizzes

Test your customers’ knowledge with rewardable quizzes. These are perfect for verifying someone digested content or a secret word on a podcast or at an event. It’s a great tool for enrollment for an easy way to prove participation.

Visit a Location

Reward customers or users for visiting physical locations. Our system can either check the user’s GPS coordinates, or we can set up physical touch points where users have to tap their phone on an NFC tag to prove they were there.

View or Read Content

Add content to a post within our system and reward users when they read down to the bottom of the content.

Visit a Link or specific URL

Drive traffic to product, partner, or campaign pages by rewarding users for visiting a specific URL of your choosing. Turn it into a digital scavenger hunt by pairing it with a quiz about content on the page for additional participation.

Watch a Video

Reward users for watching a video. You can set the % required to watch before they complete the challenge, and can always follow up with a quiz question to ensure they were paying attention.

NFTs or Points for Purchasing

Keep your customers engaged beyond purchasing a product by awarding them points or NFTs.

Blockchain Proof of Purchase

With our blockchain and custom URL flow, we can quickly add blockchain certificates or proof of purchase permanently on chain. This is a great tool for verification, authenticity, and warranty guarantees.
