Overview

DG3 Terminal is a trading terminal for sports prediction markets. I joined as Content Lead and owned positioning, social, search, and the systems that ran everything.

The audience is pro traders, not sports fans. That one fact set the rest: the writing had to read like a desk note, not a matchday post.

Brand Positioning

Prediction markets usually get covered as gambling or as a curiosity. DG3 is a terminal built specifically for high volume traders, so I positioned it specifically as a high intelligence trading tool instead of another sportsbook.

The voice follows from the positioning. Numbers before adjectives. No hype, no hedging, no explaining the joke. The audience doesn't have the time for that.

Content Strategy

I built a taxonomy of 10+ repeatable content formats to serve my ICP so the team could ship daily without reinventing the post each time: Match Signal, Sharp Signal, Trader Case Study, Product Use Case & UI, Strategy Article, Match Streams, Trader Meme, Podcast Clips, Promotions - Rebates & Referrals.

Search ran alongside social. Articles on WordPress, JSON-LD FAQ markup, and a keyword set built around how traders search rather than how fans do. That stack pulls around 225 organic clicks a month.

AI Systems

I built 9+ Claude Code skills and automations. A Master Prompt holds the brand voice and every skill inherits it, so a Match Signal and a Trader Case Study sound like the same brand wrote them.

A signal caption skill that fetched and verified live Polymarket CLOB data via their Gamma API, and flagged any player availability or injury via sports news portals. A halftime update automation that sent me any key market movement since the match start. A seo article writing skill that only needed the match name to write a 800+ word keyword rich article with market verified data, and no ai slop. And an AI presenter built with Higgsfield, Claude, ElevenLabs and HeyGen, which fronts videos without a shoot, a studio or a scheduling call.
