The first WNBA team to hit 1M video views
Campaign
Strategy
Objective:
This year we targeted 3 distinct audiences by leveraging 3 types of schedule release formats.
Produced Video Featuring Head Coach Nate Tibbetts
A cinematic, long-form schedule release designed for our most engaged fans. Packed with Easter eggs, storytelling, and production value, the video rewarded dedicated followers while creating a tentpole moment worthy of one of the most anticipated days of the offseason.
Vertical-First Social Video
Built specifically for short-form consumption, this version translated the schedule release into a fast, entertainment-driven format optimized for younger audiences. By prioritizing accessibility, pacing, and platform-native storytelling, we expanded reach beyond our core fan base and introduced the schedule to casual and emerging fans.
Doodles
Our highest-performing recurring content, designed to strengthen brand affinity through a distinct visual identity and recognizable voice. This format has become a fan favorite, creating anticipation, engagement, and a unique Mercury-owned social experience.
