BET ON KENDALL
Fanatics Sportsbook, the fastest growing sportsbook in America, is betting on Kendall Jenner with the launch of its first-ever Big Game commercial and Jenner’s first Big Game advertising campaign, “Bet on Kendall.” The campaign is the first production from the recently launched Fanatics Studios, the groundbreaking joint venture between Fanatics and OBB Media. Bolded, OBB’s branded entertainment division, served as the creative studio.
In the spot, Kendall leans into the long-running internet joke that any basketball player who gets close to her is subject to ...consequences. Fueled by memes, real-life coincidences, and fan speculation, the so-called ‘Kardashian Kurse’ isn’t denied, but rather addressed head on, with Jenner making reference to her previous basketball boyfriends. With a wink and a nod, Jenner reveals that while the internet has been speculating about the Kurse, she’s been doing something far more strategic (and likely Kris Jenner approved): betting on it.
The 30-second ad, which will air during halftime, and 90-second digital spot blend sharp comedy with high-gloss visuals and faceless exes as Jenner explains how she’s turned her rumored effect on men into winning bets on Fanatics Sportsbook. The result is a flirtatious, self-deprecating take on sports fandom that invites viewers to take a side... betting with her or betting against her on Fanatics Sportsbook once her pick for the Big Game is live.
“Bet on Kendall” was executive produced by Michael D. Ratner, Scott Ratner, Kfir Goldberg, Simone Spira, and James Rowe for OBB, alongside Kendall Jenner, with Matt King, Selena Kalvaria, Johnny Dantonio, and Michael Fitzsimmons executive producing for Fanatics Sportsbook. The commercial was directed by Michael D. Ratner and Cameron Harris, with Ratner having conceived the concept.
