A group of former (and current) professional basketball players approached TinyWins with a vision: to revolutionize athlete representation through a player-run agency that prioritizes athlete development over (just) big checks. Our challenge was to craft a brand identity that could resonate with a new generation of athletes while embodying the founders' passion and authentic approach to representation.
SOLUTION: We began by developing a brand strategy that positioned FreeGame as a disruptive force in athlete representation—one that emphasizes authenticity, transparency, and athlete autonomy. This foundation informed every aspect of our creative approach, from visual design to messaging. "Own your game" became our rallying cry for them and a bold way to convey that they were a player-focused management company helping athletes live life beyond the final whistle. Understanding that athletes live in a world of motion (especially now when social media, NIL, and the transfer portal make the sports industry immensely complicated and always moving), we incorporated dynamic elements throughout the brand system. We included motion design principles, energetic photo and video direction, and versatile design elements that work across digital and analog touchpoints.
Finally, we brought everything together into a sleek, dynamic, and player-centered website — the final step in positioning FreeGame as a revolutionary force in athlete representation with a brand experience as personal and genuine as the service itself.
