GoDaddy recruited Raptors center Jonas Valanciunas to show fans how he took his fictional miniature figurine business online, highlighting the platform's ease of use for small businesses. This campaign featured a series of content pieces demonstrating how GoDaddy can propel any business digitally. An actual website was launched, with proceeds from figurine sales going to the MLSE Foundation, and a contest based on "Itty Bitty Ballers" supported local businesses. The message was reinforced later in the season with sequels starring Lucas Nogueira, Patrick Patterson, and the Raptor​.

CREATIVE INSIGHT
