Build a Character Driven Basketball Entertainment Franchise
Playground Legends™ is being built around a simple idea: The playground has always had the characters, competition, stories & culture. It has never had a global entertainment franchise built around them. We are changing that!
Playground Legends™ brings together the fragmented worlds of original characters, legendary basketball courts, street-premium apparel, live competition, storytelling, media, gaming, and technology uniting them into a single entertainment property designed to grow far beyond the court.
We are building that world now.
We're Looking For Builders
Playground Legends™ is an early-stage company. This isn't an opportunity to simply step into an established organization. It's an opportunity to help create one.
We are interested in experienced builders, creative leaders, strategic partners, local operators, storytellers, producers, marketers, sponsors, game developers and culture-makers who understand how intellectual property becomes culture and how culture becomes enterprise.
Some opportunities may begin as strategic partnerships, project collaborations, advisory positions, revenue-sharing arrangements or ownership-level roles rather than traditional salaried employment.
The common denominator is an ownership mentality. We want people who see possibilities, create value, open doors and execute.
Current Leadership Opportunities
President/Chief Operating Officer/Founding Partner - Our first major leadership search is for an experienced executive who can help transform Playground Legends™ from an emerging brand and body of intellectual property into a scalable entertainment company.
The ideal person has helped build a company, division or significant business within sports, entertainment, media, gaming, licensing, consumer products, experiential marketing or a culturally driven brand.
This is not simply an operating position. We are looking for someone who wants to help build the company developing the business model, assembling strategic relationships, opening revenue channels, building the organization and helping determine how Playground Legends™ grows nationally and internationally.
Because this is an early-stage ownership-level opportunity, candidates should understand that compensation may initially involve equity and other performance-based structures rather than a traditional executive salary. The right person should also be financially capable of investing in the company if an appropriate ownership opportunity is mutually agreed upon.
We're Building For The Long Game
Playground Legends™ has been designed to expand.
The vision begins with approximately 24 U.S. cities and playgrounds, expands into approximately 12 European markets, and then adds at least eight cities and playgrounds across the Pacific Rim.
That's a potential network of 44+ real-world Playground Legends™ markets each capable of introducing its own community, characters, tournaments, apparel, sponsors, partnerships, content and eventually digital gaming environment.
This creates a long runway for growth across apparel, licensing, sponsorships, tournaments, community events, entertainment, gaming and digital products while building the brand from the ground up through authentic local basketball communities.
And the world doesn't have to be the finish line. Within the future game, players who conquer the world's playgrounds can eventually Alienize — entering the Alien Legends™ universe to compete against entirely new Legends on playgrounds beyond Earth.
America → Europe → Pacific Rim → The World → Alienize → The Universe.
That's not one product cycle. It's a framework for years of expansion.
The Game Plan
The characters we're creating today. The courts. The apparel. The tournaments. The communities. The sponsors. The stories. The content. Each is valuable on its own. Together, they create the intellectual property capable of powering something much larger. We've mapped where that can lead.
Ways To Build With Us
As Playground Legends™ grows, opportunities will expand across business operations, sponsorships and strategic partnerships, licensing and consumer products, tournaments and live events, character development and original content, gaming and interactive entertainment, social media and audience development, local city leadership, apparel and merchandising, technology and spatial experiences.
If you understand basketball culture, recognize the commercial potential of original intellectual property and believe the playground deserves a global entertainment franchise of its own, we want to hear from you.
Build the world around them.
