    Spike Lee Invites Us To “Be The Story” For NBA 2K16, CP+B LA

    By SHOOTUpdated:No Comments4825 Views

    In this campaign from CP+B LA, NBA 2K16 challenges us to #BeTheStory with a focus on the all-new MyCAREER storyline that was created for the videogame by filmmaker Spike Lee. NBA 2K16 is allowing gamers to star in their own Spike Lee Joint and experience what it’s like to rise to the NBA through an interactive storyline.

    This spot has Lee introducing us to the importance of story when it comes to basketball. From street courts to high school and college gyms, to Madison Square Garden, he makes it clear that at every level of basketball, the story is everything. Even the three NBA 2K16 covers designed by 2K and CP+B celebrate the individual stories of this year’s cover athletes–NBA All-Stars Stephen Curry, James Harden and Anthony Davis–by featuring highlights that span their careers. The game covers, TV and online film are the first pieces in a multi-media campaign that will roll out as the year progresses. Like in the game, each piece of the campaign will show how the on and off court drama comes together to tell each player’s story.

    Ad Council, Directing Duo The Hudson Dusters Share “The Rewards” Of Adopting Teens From Foster Care

    Wednesday, November 20, 2024

    The Ad Council, partnering with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and AdoptUSKids, launched a public service campaign, created pro bono by Edelman, which aims to inspire prospective parents to consider adopting a teen from foster care.

    This centerpiece PSA titled “The Rewards”--directed by The Hudson Dusters (Michael Kuhn and Niles Roth) via Greenpoint Pictures--spotlights real adoptive families who have personally experienced the mutual benefits of adoption. This longer form PSA (and cutdown versions) begins with a touching display of openness and vulnerability as adoptive parents reflect on their adoption journeys and their initial questions and hesitations about adopting a teen. Then, in a deeply emotional turn, the adoptive parents witness their children recounting the profound rewards of adoption in their lives. The teens speak of the love they share with their parents and how the decision to become a family is reciprocal. The campaign directs viewers to the AdoptUSKids website to learn more about adopting a teen from foster care.
