KatCab: NBA Rookie of the Year Campaign

Project

As the 2015-16 NBA season came to a close, there was no doubt that the Timberwolves had struck gold with first overall draft pick Karl-Anthony Towns. KAT was on a hot streak, averaging a double-double with 18 and 10. In an effort to gain traction for KAT as a candidate for the NBA Rookie of the Year Award, the Timberwolves PR and digital team was tasked with developing a unique campaign to drive publicity for the team and rookie. My role was developing a custom site that would bring the selected campaign to life – KAT Cab, a parody of MTV’s show “Cash Cab”. I built an engaging digital fan experience hosting an array of stats, photos, testimonials, and video series.

Timeline

Design process between 1-2 weeks, with development time lasting 2-3 weeks for a total of roughly a month. The site launched in late March, 2016.

Deliverables

Translation of campaign concept to web environment, development and design of custom landing page, look and feel, and interactive units for fans including a quiz and stats updating in real-time.

Results

KatCab.net grabbed thousands of pageviews on it's launch date of March 20, 2016, with viewers spending an average of over 3 1/2 minutes engaging with the site.
