Thrillzz entered the market as a unique, free-to-play sports prediction platform, offering fans a way to engage with games in real time. Unlike traditional sports betting, Thrillzz wanted to emphasize community, friendly competition, and entertainment-driven engagement. The challenge was to create a brand that could capture the energy of live sports while maintaining accessibility for casual fans.
Watson conducted qualitative and quantitative research to understand how sports fans interact with prediction platforms. We identified three primary personas:
Using these insights, we built a messaging framework that emphasized inclusivity, competition, and excitement. The brand voice was defined as thrilling, inclusive, and trusted—ensuring users felt welcome, energized, and confident in the platform.
Our design team crafted a sleek, high-energy interface that mirrored the fast-paced nature of sports engagement. The visual identity emphasized bold colors, dynamic typography, and motion elements that captured the adrenaline of game day.
The app’s UX was redesigned to simplify navigation, making it easy for users to make picks, join “squads,” and track leaderboards. Virtual currency systems were structured to enhance engagement while maintaining a low-stakes, entertainment-first approach.
To drive user adoption, we implemented a multi-channel marketing strategy, prioritizing social engagement, influencer partnerships, and targeted digital campaigns. Paid social media ads focused on Twitter and Instagram, tapping into live sports conversations and leveraging real-time engagement.
By refining its messaging, digital experience, and go-to-market strategy, Thrillzz successfully positioned itself as the go-to platform for social sports predictions, bridging the gap between gaming and fandom.
