    Director Stacy Wall, CP+B “Run The Neighborhood” For NBA 2K18

    By SHOOTUpdated:No Comments3021 Views

    Video game NBA 2K looks to continue to blur the lines between the real and digital worlds with its newest incarnation. This year NBA 2K18 built an open-world neighborhood, allowing gamers not only to play basketball, but to immerse themselves with all the culture that surrounds it. Gamers can go to the barbershop, get ink done at the tattoo parlor and play ball at the local courts. 

    To announce and celebrate this new feature, agency CP+B LA teamed with director Stacy Wall of production house Imperial Woodpecker on a two-minute film, Run the Neighborhood, showing a kid on his journey from his apartment to the local court, ducking in and out of all his haunts and greeting everyday regulars on the way. It just so happens that those regulars are all NBA superstars (10 in total). And for the eagle-eyed fans, the neighborhood is furnished with basketball Easter eggs. The NBA players are in order of appearance: D’Angelo Russell, Paul George, Joel Embiid, Isaiah Thomas, Damian Lillard, Bill Walton (retired legend), DeMar DeRozan, Devin Booker, Karl-Anthony Towns and Kyrie Irving.

    Blink, a provider of affordable smart home security, has launched an advertising campaign which features a light-hearted slice-of-life portrait of Maggie, a busy, cost-conscious mother who values more--more time with her loved ones, and more bang for her buck. The campaign was created by Merman and directed by Eva Michon.

    Acting as creative agency and production company, Merman tapped into its deep well of creative talent, including screenwriters and copywriters as well as directors and producers to ideate for the brand. Blink was presented with a half-dozen creative ideas for the campaign. The winning concept was created by Merman’s managing partner Kira Carstensen and in-house creative director, Jack Taylor Cox.

    “We loved working with the incredible creative team at Blink,” said Carstensen. “They took our ideas and made them better. I am a huge fan of the product, and now the people who represent it. We hope this is the first of many projects with them--showing consumers how they can get more with Blink.”
