DOMINIQUE
WILKINS

“The Human Hightlight Film”

As an NBA Hall of Famer, Dominique Wilkins cemented his legacy by earning iconic status amongst the NBA’s legends during the most competitive era in basketball history.

Leaving his mark on the NBA history books, as one of the most prolific scorers of all-time, Wilkins is currently planted firmly at the 11th position on the NBA’s all-time scoring list.

As a nine-time NBA All-Star, Wilkens is also widely considered as one of the most exciting players to have ever played the game by standing out as one of the best NBA dunkers of all-time, earning him the well deserved nickname of “The Human Highlight Film.”

THE diagnosis

Losing both his father
and grandfather to diabetes, Dominique had a realization that would reshape the rest of his life. At the ripe age of 40, Wilkens got an unexpected diagnosis in the form of Type II Diabetes.

Being an elite athlete, the initial shock lead to denial but the true heart and drive that made him into a legend on the court had fueled him to take action off the court by completely transforming his life, forcing him to rethink his whole entire lifestyle.

THE HUMANITARIAN

Never afraid of a challenge, Dominique captured his calling by embracing the role as an advocate and an active member within the diabetes community.

Educating and raising awareness towards diabetes, Dominique is the acting Global Brand Ambassador for Victoza, under the Novo Nordisk umbrella, the world leader in diabetes health care.

THE BUSINESSMAN

Currently acting as the Vice President of Basketball Operations of the Atlanta Hawks, Wilkins is also a 7 - time Emmy nominated Fox Sports South analyst and with such successes being found off the courts, Wilkins has high aspirations for the next chapter of his career.

THE next chapter

With eyes fixed on new mediums to extend the Domnique Wilkins brand, the attention is now focused on the digital age that surrounds us all today. Wilkins is prepping his brand for a full-on targeted approach, taking complete advantage of his established thought leadership and the brand equity accrued throughout his professional career.

Entering into uncharted waters, Wilkins experienced tremendous success in a limited amount of time. Striking while the iron is hot, the time has come to start building out the sponsorship team that will join Wilkins on creating his next ‘Human Hightlight Film’ for the next chapter of the history books.

Case Study - Measuring Dominique’s Influence


Two months into the rollout strategy, the results look more promising than ever. The basketball thought leaders of the day are now embracing Dominique as a go-to figure within the basketball community to bridge the gap with analysis of one of the most covered debates within NBA coverage today — “How do the new and next generation NBA superstars stack up to the legends from greatest era in basketball history?”. Wilkins’ unique and calculated perspective is a much needed breathe of fresh air that cuts to the core of the hottest debate in basketball.

Film-School

The first ever fantasy camp held under:

DOMINIQUE WILKINS

 

This Fantasy Camp will be run in partnership with the Atlanta Hawks staff and trainers to provide an NBA experience like no other. Campers will finally get to experience what a condensed week in the NBA actually feels like.

Fantasy Camp will be targeted towards the 30-65 year old demographic. This camp will be targeted to not only the legendary Dominique Wilkins fans, but to all basketball fans and weekend warriors alike.

Health and wellness will have a major place in the camps itinerary and make up. As a result of his Type 2 diabetes diagnosis 14 years ago, it has been a mission of Dominique to preach not only health and wellness changes, but lifestyle changes as well. This camp is total life encompassing; how we eat, exercise, sleep, rest, play and most importantly manage stress.
