How it works

Three steps. No change to your margin.

Playably funds the rebate, so David runs the campaign without carrying the payout.

01

Shoppers enroll with a code.

Every order placed at davidprotein.com between [September 29] and the start of the attempt on [October 9] enrolls by entering code [GOODGE50] at checkout. Enrollment is tracked on the order from that point, so there is nothing for the shopper to keep or claim later.

02

Playably covers the payout.

Playably funds the rebate at no upfront cost to David. You keep the revenue from every order at full price, and the cost of the campaign does not sit on your books.

03

The record falls, every order is free.

If William Goodge finishes 50 marathons in 50 states faster than the current world record, every enrolled order is rebated in full, 100% cashback, paid by Playably. If the record stands, shoppers keep the bars they already wanted at the price they already paid.

Why this lands for David

Three reasons this is the right record.

01   One number

The brand is already a single number.

David is built on 28g of protein in 150 calories, one spec that people argue about in the comments. A world record is also one number that either falls or does not. The campaign runs on the brand's own logic rather than borrowing someone else's.

02   One runner

David is already on his kit.

David is the sponsor of the attempt, so this is not a borrowed moment. Every state, every leg and the charter flight to Alaska is already a David story. The campaign gives every customer a reason to follow him to the finish line in New York, the city where David launched.

03   One promise

Discipline, paid back.

David sells discipline, and two or three marathons a day for more than three weeks is discipline at the absolute limit of it. Tying the payout to the record makes the brand promise literal, and every customer is cheering for the same result David is.

David, in its own words
Discipline never tasted so good.

The campaign takes that line and puts money behind it. If the record falls, one runner's discipline pays for everybody's order.
