Launch –
We timed the campaign launch kick off with the Super Bowl and conclude during the NBA All-Star Game (in Cleveland, Ohio, Nations Lending’s home town).
From the moment visitors arrived at the airport, they were greeted with out-of-home ads featuring Dennis Rodman and George. The full-court press continued with a multi-channel approach that covered everything from social media, television ads, and out-of-home ads surrounding the arena.
The campaign was a slam dunk, generating significant buzz and boosting brand awareness for Nations Lending by at trackable 1000%.
