NBA CON 2023 Event Launch

DEBUTING A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND LAS VEGAS EVENT

the
business
challenge

When launching a first-of-its-kind, family-friendly, three-day event in a market as saturated as Las Vegas, attracting local attention can be a challenge—even for an organization as well known as the National Basketball Association. The NBA sought to secure a strong stream of publicity, positively impact ticket sales and captivate hoop culture fans.

the
solution

To generate significant local and national media coverage and reach family-oriented hoop culture fans, BrandBomb developed a 360-degree public relations strategy that would generate a buzz and maximize visibility. BrandBomb PR produced a pre-event media preview for key news journalists, developed a targeted influencer marketing campaign, performed outreach to local basketball communities and led media outreach.
