TOPPS NBA | 2025 Launch  

IT’S OUR GAME NOW


Growing up, Topps were the premier basketball cards. But for the last 16 years they’d been sitting on the sidelines. So for 2025, as the brand made their official NBA comeback, we led them on a full on takeover. And at a time when the King James’ reign was winding down and the league as a whole was anyone’s game, we leaned into the moment, boldy proclaiming that nah, It’s our game now.

THE DREAM JOB PROMOTION


For most of us, a dream job has little to do with the 9-5. We created a contest to help one brave person quit their day job to chase their dream job. 
 


We launched with a man on the street video. 



On social, we invited people to ditch boring corporate gigs and take a leap of faith on themselves.
 



I edited the best video applications into more content that drove hundreds more applications. 




Within weeks, the program earned over 50 million free impressions and coverage in Forbes, Mashable and Outside Magazine. Our team reviewed 2,400 video applications, before landing on a unanimous winner: Queena . On prAna’s social, fans followed her journey to inspiring the masses through motivational speaking and poetry. Queena even became an official ambassador to the prAna brand.
