Leo Burnett Orchard India has won the creative duties for sports tech start up, Dream11. Fantasy sports, one of Dream11’s specialised offerings, is a game of skill that offers Indian sports fans a platform to showcase their knowledge. Fans can create their own team of real-life players from upcoming matches, score points based on their on-field performance and compete with other fans. Dream11 recently announced MS Dhoni as its brand ambassador.

As part of its new duties, Leo Burnett Orchard will partner Dream11 for all of its sports tie-ups, and will help consumers realise the joy of fantasy sports.
