The Challenge

The Challenge

Royalty wanted to make noise in basketball. They were sponsoring the Twin Cities Pro-AM—home to talent like Tyus Jones, Paige Bueckers, and Jalen Suggs—but needed a way to make the partnership *stick*.

We stepped in to help pitch content as the centerpiece of the deal—transforming it from an apparel sponsorship into a storytelling platform.

What We Did

What We Did

What We Did

We developed and produced a two-part mini-docu-series across four days in Minneapolis—capturing games, gyms, player homes, and personal interviews. The series featured former NBA star Khalid El-Amin, his son Ishmael, and key voices behind the league.

Deliverables:
  • 2 Hero Films (3–4 min)

  • 3 Short-Form Edits

  • 20+ Editorial Photos

  • Rollout strategy with athlete-led distribution

The campaign earned 44,000+ organic views, high engagement, and fan praise (“🔥🔥🔥”).

From The Founder

I’ve spent my career helping brands like Lululemon, Target, and Atlantic Records tell stories that actually matter.

But what I kept seeing—over and over—was great brands producing forgettable content. Content that checked boxes but didn’t move people. Didn’t build loyalty. Didn’t grow the business.

I started Tale to change that—to help brands turn real stories into cinematic content that connects, converts, and sticks.
