SOLUTIONS OFFERED

DD2 has been successfully running paid media campaigns for NBA Asia since early 2020, devising and implementing their paid media digital strategy for both always-on and tactical campaigns, all geared toward achieving measurable outcomes that align with their marketing goals.

For always-on campaigns, fan-growth is the top-priority in addition to ensuring an uptrend in engagement and video views metrics.

On the other hand, tactical campaigns require a unique approach based on the campaign briefs, and as such, DD2’s expertise on digital strategy assures optimal campaign performance at every stage - from media planning through to execution and post-campaign reporting.
