The Problem

ESPN wanted to get sports fans excited for the upcoming College Football season, and leverage their hashtag #CollegeFootballLivesHere

The Solution

We created this powerful spot featuring a Stanford Cardinal fan, portrayed by Ryan Smale, going through his pregame ritual. Christiano Covino wrote the ominous music to drift beneath Ryan reading Stanford's fight song, creating a bittersweet tone that perfectly captures the tension of gameday.
