Consumers could then email the video to themselves to be uploaded and shared via social media.Print - One of the biggest events in the sports world around street date was the NFL Draft. We partnered with ESPN, to transform the cover and “Avatarized” the most talked about draft pick, Jimmy Clausen, into a Na’vi.Television - Through partnerships with Turner/NBA, FoxSports and ESPN, integrated Avatar’s iconic imagery in game footage using star players.Digital - Created the first ever “Immersive Trailer” that allowed consumers to interact with the trailer on various sites giving them an insider's look at Pandora.
