Five roaming cameras, a drone dive through skylights, and a backstage interview booth branded in matte‑pink polish. We stitched footage overnight, treating TikTok’s scroll like a sports highlight reel.
The final 60‑second sizzle dropped at sunrise: high‑fives, quick swipes of enamel, Kelly’s grin reflected in a mirror‑polished court logo. Still frames hit Getty before doors reopened, licensing out to Billboard and Hypebeast by noon.
The UNDN x Cavs activation was a standout moment that brought culture, sports, and style together under one roof. With MGK making a surprise appearance to showcase his new nail polish line, the energy was electric. Fans got an unforgettable experience that celebrated Cleveland pride, creativity, and community—all made possible through a powerful collaboration with the Cavs. It was more than an event; it was a statement about what happens when local passion meets global vision.
