New City.New Era.

How a city makes a rookie one of its own.

Begin the journey
The pitch, at a glance

One idea.
Three moves.

Authentic docu-style branded content.
01
The Film

New Era welcomes four NBA rookies to their new cities with one cinematic film each, shot in a single day across three stops: an iconic landmark, a local gem, and the arena.

02
The System

Everything else, the short-form clips, arrival posters, and activations, is cut from that same footage, so one shoot day becomes a season of content.

03
The Cap

The City Edition cap is the through-line, the object that turns a newcomer into a local.

Signature moment

The Arrival
Clips.

  • The player does almost nothing.

    Walk up, put the poster up, react. Two minutes of his time.

  • It names the brand out loud.

    "New Era" lives in the on-screen text, not just on the hat.

  • Built to tease.

    Individual clips drop 24 hours before each city. The all-four film headlines launch day.

  • Five pieces. One beat.

    Four arrivals plus the combined cut. A series fans come to expect.

What it delivers

One shoot day.
A season of content.

Every city's single shoot becomes a full slate: one film, a short-form library, and the moments that live on the ground.
