The spot was directed by Dave Laden and created in collaboration with independent creative agency Translation. “The Toast” will run in broadcast and will live across all NBA social and digital platforms. The campaign will also be extended through complementary creative in out-of-home, digital, audio and print assets including a pop-up activation at the Governor’s Ball Music Festival in New York on June 7-9.
Beyond the creative, the Finals campaign will also be supported by the second Larry O’Brien Trophy Tour as Larry visits famous places and faces on the road to crowning the next NBA Champion.
