CP+B in Boulder, Colo., created this “Coaches vs. Cancer: Hardwood Heroes” campaign tied into the NCAA basketball championship March Madness for automotive client Infiniti. Centerpiece of the campaign is an eight-part mini-documentary focusing on two basketball teams consisting of cancer survivors who will play a live game during Final Four weekend. The game will be broadcast on CBS during the NCAA semifinals.
Guiding the teams are two former NCAA basketball coaches, Tom Pender and Jim Harrick.
Here is the intro video to the campaign directed by Richard Bullock of Hungry Man.
More than 70 million March Madness brackets are filled out every year in hopes of taking home a big payday. But this year, Infiniti created a bracket that actually gives back. For each round of the NCAA tournament, every winning pick selected at www.cbssports.com/infiniti generates a donation for the Coaches vs. Cancer charity.
