Basic description of the project: Basketball is the most loved sport in China. But in Shanghai, the ratio of people to basketball courts is a depressing 10,000:1. We created a simple “D.I.Y Streetball Kit” which could be easily assembled anywhere by anyone. We produced 200 of these and distributed them to streetball lovers all over Shanghai. Street basketball became basketball streets. We turned a low budget of RMB100,000 into 200 wholly owned, fully targeted media placements. These were exposed to 2 million people and engaged over 40,000 people in street basketball.
