FANTASY TEAM SPORTS /
FTSports - White-label game tear sheet

Fantasy Team Sports (online sports pools) and FTSports (Sports News portal) were in house and white-label customizable sports entertainment communities. FT operated unique sports pool contests and sports news portals for over thirty international clients including Jim Rome Sports and ESPN.

The sports pool games and news site were successful in feeding each other traffic. Fantasy Team recorded 1.2 million unique users a week with an average of 24 unique page views per visit, resulting in over two million revenue-producing banner impressions per day.

These tear-sheets were used by the sales team to show the clients the myriad of promotional and revenue generating tools that were available to them. Fantasy Team would populate the customized sites with FT generated ads and sponsors or the client may choose to sell their own sponsorship. This was an initiative developed and implemented by Bill as the Director of Operations.(Created in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.)
