A CHIP BRAND BROUGHT 4-POINTERS TO THE NBA. And Motive just turned them into CLIO GOLD. The National Basketball Association (NBA) has never been shy about changing the game—but it took a chip brand to turn 4-Pointers into reality. As hoops culture grows more dynamic, Ruffles continues to feed fans who want more. 3-Pointers have already revolutionized the League, but Ruffles was bold enough to take it further: pitching the “4-Point Ridgeline” at the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game, and convincing the NBA to make it happen. With “Ridgeline Unlocks,” we tapped into the insight that fans want to be a part of the action—not just spectators—and took our impact well beyond the hardwood. HOW WE DID IT: Ridgeline Unlocks created a multi-faceted experience in-broadcast, online, and on the streets of Indianapolis. From creating a capsule collection that fans could win by scanning broadcast codes; to real-time social interactions during the game; to teaming up with Indy’s own Nap or Nothing for an IRL Ridgeline contest; this year’s experience was integrated, interactive and at the forefront of the conversation. And it proved—once again—that Ruffles owns a rightful place in the NBA zeitgeist. BY THE NUMBERS: ‣ FIRST in earned impressions’ SOV amongst brands activating at All-Star ‣ More than a third of total SOV (34%) ‣ 2.3 BILLION impressions ‣ +4% Linear Ratings increase in Celebrity Game TV viewers #motivemade #clioaward #sportsmarketing #sportsgamingentertainment #ruffles #nbaallstar #nba #fritolay The Clios Frito-Lay Project Worldwide

Ever wondered how major sports leagues rake in billions? Let's break it down. 1) Broadcasting rights are a massive revenue stream. Networks pay top dollar to air games live, attracting millions of viewers 📺 2) Sponsorship deals bring in significant cash. Brands want their logos on jerseys, stadiums, and even digital platforms. 3) Ticket sales remain necessary. Fans flock to stadiums, paying premium prices for the best seats 🎟️. 4) Merchandise sales add another layer of income. Jerseys, hats, and memorabilia fly off the shelves both online and offline. 5) Licensing agreements also contribute. Video games and other media use league branding for a fee. These diverse revenue streams ensure financial stability and growth for major sports leagues. Understanding this helps us appreciate the business behind our favorite games. Cheers 🥃

🚀 Branding Genius Without a Budget! 🚀 What if I told you that Burger King pulled off one of the most creative branding campaigns in FIFA without spending a penny on the franchise? 🤯 Here’s how they did it: Instead of investing big in the top-tier teams, Burger King made a strategic move – they sponsored a small, lower-league football team, Stevenage FC. 🎯 The clever part? Stevenage FC, like all football clubs, appears in FIFA, one of the world’s most popular video games. Gamers around the world could choose to play as this humble team, with the iconic Burger King logo proudly displayed on their jerseys. 🕹️👕 But Burger King didn’t stop there. They launched the #StevenageChallenge, encouraging FIFA players to sign the world’s top players to Stevenage, score amazing goals, and share them on social media. 🍔⚽ The result? 🌍 Massive global exposure. The Stevenage FC jersey became one of the most popular kits in the game. Social media buzz exploded, with thousands of gamers sharing their goals and tagging Burger King. With minimal investment, Burger King turned a sponsorship with a small team into a global branding masterclass. 💡 💡 The takeaway? You don’t need a huge budget to make a huge impact. Sometimes, the most creative idea wins. #Marketing #Branding #UnderdogStory #CreativityWins #BurgerKing #StevenageChallenge #SmartStrategy
