Oh hey…hockey!!
Did you guys know that the Bruins shut out the Lightning to make the Stanley Cup playoffs? Or were you too busy hating on Kendall?
Boston’s own MMB had a spot ready to go to celebrate the win, and it went live last night. This effort is unique in that it does not include any pro athletes, game footage or professional Bruins boosters.
“In Our Blood” concerns regular Joes and Janes who happen to love the puck.
Local sports fans are crazy dedicated to local sports teams. It’s an obsession that borders on the religious.
And the campaign isn’t just TV. Here’s some of the poster/OOH work.
We haven’t heard from MMB in a while, but they’re making something of a comeback after taking longtime client Subway back from BBDO last year.
We can’t seem to locate their “mean AS comments” video, though…
