The OBIE Award is the oldest in the outdoor (OOH) advertising industry and the most prestigious honor for creative excellence in outdoor advertising design. “Obies are a really important part of our puzzle and creativity is our medium superpower,” said OAAA President and CEO. Anna Bager.
This year’s highest honor, the Platinum OBIE Award, went to Mikelob Ultra FCB New York for its sophisticated “Courtside” campaign. The project pushes the definition of OOH through a collaborative use of technology that digitally immerses fans in the virtual stand of the NBA bubble from home, finding a creative way to inject infectious energy and joy that a live viewer can bring to a game.
The COVID-19 could have put the beverage company’s first year as the NBA’s official beer sponsor on a tailspin, but Michelob ULTRA’s sales increased 32 percent with 13 billion campaign impressions, 81.5 million hours of NBA coverage, and ticket promotions due to its “courtside” campaign efficiency. .
“Courtside” has won Gold OBIE Awards in five categories: Entertainment and Live Events, Custom Installation, Food and Beverage, Digital Design and Interactive.
