Wheaties teams-up with PickPointz to launch its first Mobile Sports Game with Wheaties Baseball MVP available on Android and iOS Devices

Posted on 13:00 by blogger
As part of Wheaties® continuing efforts to engage with fans in the digital space, The Breakfast of Champions® has teamed up with PickPointz—a free, mobile sports pick’em app that rewards players with real-value, redeemable points for correctly predicting the outcome of live sporting events. PickPointz players can test their baseball IQ all season long by playing the Wheaties® Baseball MVP Game. Play daily, challenge your friends and family, and you could win great prizes.

“Wheaties has been associated with sports for 80 years, beginning with a sponsorship for the Minneapolis Millers in 1933,” said Kimberly Seifert, Associate Marketing Manager for Wheaties. “We are always looking for new ways to challenge our fans, and PickPointz is a fun way to do it.”

“PickPointz is proud to partner with Wheaties® to bring sports competition and a winning conversation to the breakfast table through our inclusive, family-friendly sports app and the Wheaties® Baseball MVP Game,” said Jordan Mauer, Chief Marketing Officer, PickPointz and 2020 Marketing Group.

PickPointz is the ultimate mobile sports app made for true sports fans, combining elements of fantasy sports with the excitement of picking daily winners. Unique to PickPointz, fans can interact and engage throughout a game—be it baseball, hockey, football, or basketball—while earning points that can be redeemed for real rewards and merchandise. As the game changes, so can the picks, right up to the end of the game. That means players are never out of the game.
