#NBAInMyBackyard
When India was chosen to host the first ever global games, NBA India reached out to Genesis BCW with the objective to make India fall in love with basketball. The integrated #NBAInMyBackyard campaign brought to life every imagination the audience might have had about the NBA across art, culture, lifestyle, on-ground awe, content, and of course, the sport itself. Based on the insight that a live event is also about the complete experience and culture around it, an integrated campaign covering public relations, on-ground activation and social media amplification was created for an immersive experience.
