Nissan/ESPN Heisman House
In this long-running campaign, all of college football’s Heisman Trophy winners live together under the same roof – a fraternity of legends and future legends, trash-talking and driving Nissans.
With Oregon’s Marcus Mariota as the newest house member, we made 10 TV spots and a bunch of social content tailored to specific matchups.
When the season ended, online views of the campaigns assets had topped 41 million.

..as soon as the game ended, with fan engagement at a fever pitch, we posted a video showing the loser paying his debt:
Around Halloween, we imagined Heisman House being haunted by the spirit of the very first Heisman trophy winner, the University of Chicago’s Jay Berwanger. (Jay has a bit of an ego.)
In this series, Roger Staubach introduced Navy’s mascot, Bill the Goat, as he predicted the winners of 7 highly anticipated games. Bill’s track record? Not so hot.
Even simple photo posts were successful, making for easily sharable content around gametime.
