A co-branded motorsport campaign built around one audacious goal — competing at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. PMG uses motorsport as a content engine to power a programmatic advertising platform. Suttle Straus is the title partner.
We sell together. We earn together. We win together. PMG produces the motorsport content and runs the programmatic platform. Suttle Straus converts the sponsors into clients, and keeps them long after the campaign ends.
WiENDURE is a professional motorsport campaign with one objective: field a Wisconsin-based team at the 24 Hours of Le Mans — the most demanding endurance race on earth. That ambition is not a tagline. It is a management philosophy applied to every decision this campaign makes.
The campaign was founded with that singular goal in mind. But WiENDURE is not a family project — it is a mission. Reaching Le Mans requires assembling the right drivers, mechanics, engineers, strategists, and partners at every stage of the journey. The founding story is what makes it compelling to be part of. The infrastructure we are building is what makes it possible.
This is not a passion project. It is a structured, multi-year campaign built on programmatic media, enterprise sponsorships, and a docuseries that grows in value with every race. The people who join early — as partners, sponsors, or participants — are part of the story from the beginning.
Year 1 competes in the World Racing League. Suttle Straus is on the car from day one — in every market WiENDURE reaches.
A planned multi-episode docuseries is the media product that turns every race into content, every sponsor into a character, and every viewer into a retargeting audience owned jointly by PMG and Suttle Straus. Production is built around a video agency relationship with standardized, predictable pricing — keeping the model lean and scalable as the campaign grows. The intent is a consistent publishing cadence that builds audience and value with every episode released.
PMG's existing sponsor relationships represent national brands across high-growth verticals. These relationships demonstrate the caliber of partners WiENDURE attracts.
Eight structural advantages that belong entirely to Suttle Straus in this partnership. None of these accrue to any other sponsor. These are the reasons Karen can take this upstairs with confidence.
Each organization brings a distinct, non-overlapping capability set. There is no channel conflict — only compounding leverage. PMG has no interest in print, fulfillment, or physical goods. Forever.
Three revenue layers power WiENDURE. PMG operates on a fixed margin arrangement with Path3 covering all campaign management and delivery costs — similar to a general contractor model. Above that margin, all sponsor revenue splits 50/50 between PMG and Suttle Straus — clean, simple, auditable. Direct mail adds a parallel revenue stream that flows entirely through Suttle Straus.
Every tier produces a physical artifact — apparel, race suit, custom helmet — that becomes the centerpiece of the programmatic creative. The sponsor's brand is woven into the WiENDURE visual identity and their messaging, products, or services are tied to the campaign journey across every ad format. Sponsors aren't buying a logo placement. They're buying a story. CPM pricing to be confirmed pending Path3 negotiation.

The physical artifact at each tier — apparel, race suit, custom helmet — is produced first. That asset becomes the creative centerpiece for every ad format below. The sponsor's brand doesn't appear beside the campaign. It is the campaign. The mockups below illustrate this creative approach using an existing PMG sponsor relationship as the example.
The intent is a model where each party's contribution reflects what they bring to the campaign — not an equal financial split across everything, but a structure that is additive for both sides. PMG carries the operational and motorsport weight. The docuseries is a natural shared investment since both organizations benefit equally from it. Suttle Straus's involvement in fulfillment isn't a cost — it's a revenue stream. The framework below illustrates how that thinking could translate into a working arrangement.
