Description
Crocantissimo is a surprising snack, and official sponsor of the NBA in Brazil. That's why the brand found an even more surprising way to distribute tickets to courageous basketball fans. A 158 feet tall crane was mounted on the beach of Rio de Janeiro, so people could try to make a basket that was 2 meters in diameter, while bunjee jumping. Those that were courageous enough to jump and make the basket won tickets to the NGA Global Games in Rio de Janeiro, featuring the Miami Heats and the Cleveland Cavaliers. The project video, was seen almost two million times in one month and became the 8th most-watched video on the October 2014 Ads Leaderboard.
