NIKE FIBA BASKETBALL
WORLD CUP
The Nike App was the key. Already tailored to each user, it allowed us to make each and every fan a part of the World Cup. A dedicated tab on the interface – dubbed “Hoops Hub” – became home to exclusive content, shoe drops, members-only Live Experiences, and a game we created called “Super Hoops”. The Nike App’s first-ever HTML5 game in the region, Super Hoops gave fans a chance to score prizes worth up to ₱56,000. Fans recognised that the Nike App was the place to be: during the campaign period, we received 1.3 million visits to Hoops Hub, with 201.9K plays of Super Hoops. Our efforts helped Nike oversee a 57% increase of active members, a 25% increase of new members, and a 77% sales growth in basketball products compared to the previous year.
Beyond in-app content, RAPP took the lead for communications in-store, on-site, and around Nike’s World-Cup related events in Manila. We created a toolkit that shaped the assets from our partners, ensuring that fans enjoyed a consistent, connected experience at every touchpoint.
With the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 being hosted in the Philippines, Japan, and Indonesia, it was the year’s biggest event for both the sport and the region. As partner for the tournament, Nike had the golden opportunity to unite Asian fans in the fervour of b-ball – transcending stadiums, countries, and homes.
