Hammer TV campaigns
Ads for Battlefield Bad Company and NBA 2K9 airing during this year's NBA finals.
JUNE 12, 2008, LOS ANGELES: Hammer Creative's TV campaign for EA's BATTLEFIELD BAD COMPANY is airing during Games 3 and 4 of the NBA finals. The spot captures the outrageous humor and over-the-top action in this new title, part of the hit war franchise from EA and DICE games. Hammer created this spot in association with EA Games.
Hammer was also behind the TV spot starring an almost lifelike CG version of Kevin Garnett for 2K Sports’ NBA 2K9 that aired before Game 1. Created by Hammer in association with 2K Sports and Plastic Wax, this spot is available for viewing at: http://www.2ksports.com/nba2k9/
"As a basketball fan myself, I’m very excited for Hammer to have not one, but two original TV spots airing during the NBA finals," said Mark Pierce, Hammer's founder. "It was a bonus that our Kevin Garnett-focused spot aired during a finals that Garnett was playing in."
