“Listen To Your Heart” features LeBron James, Lionel Messi, and Shohei Ohtani, three legendary athletes united by one thing: their hearts. Despite immense pressure, their hearts remain steady, guiding them through challenges and championships. Narrated by the iconic RZA, the film highlights their unshakable calm in the most intense moments. This campaign encourages athletes to train harder and listen to their bodies, with Powerbeats Pro 2 heart rate monitoring technology to track and improve performance

Two cross cultural icons, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Hasan Minhaj, play a game of HORSE with an interesting twist.
We’ve seen the different looks of LeBron over the years – the superstar athlete, the leader, the champion. But we’ve never seen him as a father.
“Fatherhood” explores what being a parent means to LeBron, as he muses out loud about his oldest son, Bronny James. The fears, the joys, and everything in between he experienced as a dad, supported by never-seen-before footage from the James family archive.
Throughout our film, we see the growth of the two of them together, all wrapping up with a unique handshake between father and son — showing the strength of their bond.

[WhatsApp]: Hoopchat
For March Madness, we set out to bring the heat of basketball banter from the group chat to real life. To do it, we created the first-ever basketball fan sports desk: a full-on set where two lucky Midwestern group chats had the chance to take their hot takes, wild predictions, and trash talk to the big stage.
This campaign aimed to get fans to move their hoops chatter over to WhatsApp, a more private and secure way to talk smack. So we gave them a reason to make the switch — the chance to become the voice of their own mini sports network. Each winning group got a fully produced segment at our custom-built Fan Desk, complete with pro hosts, lights, cameras, and all the action. The result? Real friends. Real debates. Real madness.
It wasn’t just a campaign. It was the first time March Madness fans got to see themselves as the stars of the show. Big thanks to our incredible team for helping Kamiin and I bring our insane basketball superfan idea to life!
SOCIAL ANNOUNCEMENT & RECAP
In a social-first, Man-on-the-Street–style video, Filayyyy roamed the Big 12 Tournament asking fans
group chat–related questions. We also posted a hype reel summarizing the event, following the weekend
Event Setup:
In between our Hoopchat show segments, the space featured exclusive WhatsApp jerseys, basketballs, and phone chargers, along with a branded photo booth.
Inside the arena, we executed digital takeovers that appeared on ESPN broadcasts. Across 9 televised games,
the message reached ~7.1M viewers in total and averaged 794K per game.

[McDonald’s]:
Let Me Put You On
The return of the McDonald’s Snack Wrap is all thanks to the persistence of fans begging the brand to bring back their beloved menu item. But here's the thing: there's a whole new generation of McDonald’s lovers too young to remember the Snack Wrap ever existed. So what better way to introduce it than through a trusted voice from the neighborhood who would never steer us wrong: Unc. And to bring him to life, we tapped Wee-Bey himself, Hassan Johnson from The Wire.
