Objective

"Marc Gasol: Memphis Made" narrates one of the most unique stories in NBA history, chronicling how a young boy from Spain became a legendary figure in Memphis. Released in conjunction with Gasol's jersey retirement in the spring of 2024, this film serves as a poignant reminder of Gasol's pivotal role in the team's history, reigniting fan interest in his jersey retirement ceremony. It also highlights his deep connection to the city and his significant influence on organizations like St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Strategy & Execution

Long-form career retrospectives have surged in popularity over the years. We believed this film would resonate deeply with our fans, not only because of Marc Gasol's legacy but also due to his family's connection with the Grizzlies, which spans the first 18 years of our history. To capture the essence of his entire career in Memphis, we conducted interviews with 25 individuals. Aligning the film's release with his jersey retirement ceremony, we aimed to celebrate his 18-year career, strengthening the bond between the fanbase and the franchise. Additionally, we included Spanish subtitles to connect with his fans in Spain, emphasizing the film's global reach.
