CHSN needed to secure a multi-platform sponsorship from Wind Creek Chicago Southland. The data supported the deal — audience alignment, broadcast reach, co-branding opportunities. But data alone doesn't close deals.

I built a pitch deck that translated the business case into a visual story: co-branded broadcast segments, in-game betting integrations, audience targeting frameworks, and partnership concepts that made the value proposition impossible to misread. Every slide was designed to move the argument forward, not just fill a page.

Wind Creek signed.

Outcome

Pitch materials played a key role in securing a multi-platform sponsorship between CHSN and Wind Creek Chicago Southland

The Wind Creek pitch deck played a key role in landing the partnership, bringing vision to life in ways that were both strategic and compelling.

Key Learning

A pitch deck is a sales tool, not a document. Every design decision — layout, hierarchy, color, pacing — either builds momentum toward a yes or bleeds it. Design for the decision, not the presentation.
