To celebrate opening day — (in March!) Baker Street invited the makers of the 2014 SF Giants Advertising Campaign to come together and view the TV commercials, outdoor, and online assets from the luxurious Champions Suite at AT&T Park. And of course watch the Giants opener against the Diamondbacks live from AZ on the Giant screen. The game turned out to be an instant classic as the Giants clawed back from a 4 run deficit and Buster Posey hit a 2 run dong in the 9th to win it. The campaign seems destined for the same instant classic fate, thanks to the tremendous collaborative efforts of Clients, Writers, Art Directors, Photographers, Directors, Producers, Players, Coaches and Fans.

About the campaign:
The San Francisco Giants thrive on the energy and inspiration provided by baseball’s best fans. This energy along with a selfless commitment from all 25 Giants players(40 expanded) has produced 2 World Series Championships and created a ball park experience like no other. This unique player – fan relationship, this genuine power of togetherness, is what the 2014 SF Giants campaign is all about: All Together. Stronger Together.
Ball park banners, outdoor boards, and online ads feature the photography of Brad Mangin, that are sure to become instant classics, themselves. Each shot was carefully chosen and cropped to evoke emotion and nostalgia, using a color technique reminiscent of 1960’s -70’s technicolor baseball cards. The kids may recognize this look as “Instagram”. TV and video depict memorable moments in the ball park that show the power of togetherness, including 3 spots that feature Giants players stepping out of frozen game moments to humorously illustrate just how the fans make the team stronger. As the season’s anthem spot, “This Ride”, poetically states: We ride together, we rise together, we have garlic fries together, we hope together, we make memories together, all together, stronger together.
