Client: NBA 2K (2K Games)
Agency: Goodby Silverstein & Partners
Production Company: Soft Spot
Director: Tomás Whitmore
A push from creative agency Goodby Silverstein & Partners to plant NBA 2K deeper in basketball culture year-round, not just at launch. Built around the idea that the obsession never switches off - glowing courts, neon signs, a city alive after dark. Rather than one hero spot, it was built like a mixtape: roughly 30 pieces of content released day after day, with more than ten NBA and WNBA athletes, including cover stars Victor Wembanyama, Caitlin Clark and Derrick Rose.
Lost Loved sourced archival imagery to support the shot content, licensing images of the iconic New York basketball court, 'The Cage', from the 1970s.
