Sam Houston State University
Launching First FBS Season With Power, Identity and Emotion
Overview
The Ask
Sam Houston State was moving to Conference USA and kicking off its first season at the FBS level. To mark the moment, they needed a full creative campaign that could hype the team, fire up the fanbase, and make the transition feel big.
‍
The Approach
We developed a complete visual system and content rollout in partnership with Nine Nine Creative. Everything we made from pre-season branding to gameday content was designed to capture intensity, identity, and pride.
Our team produced a hype film and national commercial, handled live action and motion design, and created photo and graphic templates that could be used throughout the season. Every asset was built to amplify the new era and hit across digital, in-stadium, and campus touchpoints.
