It all begins with an idea.
My name is William Compton — a content strategist and Social Media Director who’s spent his last nine years turning ideas into moments.
I’ve helped ESPN, the NBA D-League, Yahoo Sports, Bleacher Report, BETr, The University of Nevada, Reno, and touring artists like ARMNHMR cut through the noise.
Along the way, I co-founded @WinnersOnlyPlease, a lifestyle and sports culture brand that pulled in 30M+ views and a reach of over 100 million users during my tenure.
I got into this field because of my love for storytelling. I graduated with a degree in Broadcast Journalism from the University of Nevada, Reno on a full ride academic scholarship. During my time there, I was elected as the Senator of the Reynolds School of Journalism at 18 years old, had my work nominated for scholarship by the Boston Globe, and graduated in just three years.
Since my times in college, I’ve worn just about every hat in the content game — strategist, editor, writer, director — all with the goal of creating stories that resonate.
That drive translated into my latest project, helping launch SBIA, a sports betting analytics startup where I built our digital presence from the ground up. In our first year, we drove over 3,000 high-cost paid subscriptions, and landed first page google rankings through SEO strategy in our first year.
In late 2024, the python-built model that was SBIA, sold.
When I’m not deep in content, I’m usually writing songs, hiking with my dog, Buddy, or watching Revenge of the Sith (best in the series and you know it.)
I’m big on staying creatively full, and I bring that energy into every project I touch. Feel free to contact me below, I’m looking forward to learning how I can contribute to your content.
Best,
William
