The Ocho

If it’s almost a sport, ESPN8: The Ocho will cover it. We celebrated this ridiculousness with an equally ridiculous experiential stunt in Miami, and 
of all places, in Galveston, TX.

ESPN, for the third year in a row, suspended regularly scheduled programming on ESPN2 to bring back a full 24 hours of ridiculous sports from around the world, such as sign spinning, cornhole, stone skipping, lawnmower racing, Tetris, cherry pit spitting, and people trying to run on slippery staircases.


I was brought in to help oversee the creative, manage the team and add some creative sprinkles where applicable.

Random beach goers got their very own The Ocho experience: We created an activation by turning their unsuspecting cornhole and spikeball beach activities into an ocho-fied, full-fledged sports broadcast. Inclusive of two camera teams, two anchors, one anchor desk, a broadcast van, official props and swag.
