As a crowning moment to the beginning of the 2019 season, we also were given the opportunity to bring the films to life for an NBA All-Star Weekend experience. This activation lead to a comprehensive Sounds Of The City activation which attendees could product test and dive into each of the tracks from the films. Upon turning on the experience, the our SOTC space would light up in the corresponding city color to recreate the colored lighting and vibe of the ending reveal of each film. Furthering the storytelling of our multi-faceted story across both artist and athletes, a full breakdown of each of the episode’s stars and layers were unfolded across the space, with specially crafted giveaways for who attended the event.
