The Last Dance was one of ESPN's most highly anticipated documentaries ever, so we created a campaign where SportsCenter anchors started looking forward to its release all the way back in 1998. We doctored 90s footage of Kenny Mayne, Keith Olbermann and Linda Cohn and had them predict and look forward to it's release twenty years before it was made, while predicting a few other fun things about the future too.

Set to be in Las Vegas, ESPN was geared up to broadcast the 2025 NFL draft all from site. With about a month's notice, plans had to quickly change to reflect the environment in which we were living – staying home. We said so long to Vegas and hello to 220+ remote videos from players, coaches, and talents’ homes. Broadcasting all 3 days on ESPN, ABC, and the NFL Network, the first ever virtual NFL draft was produced all from ESPN headquarters in Bristol, CT. Showcasing 20 sponsors throughout 22 brand feature integrations bringing in over 15 million viewers, this year’s NFL Draft showed us that even in unprecedented times, sports will always be there to bring us together.

Everyone across the sports world, from passionate fans to superstar athletes, is feeling the huge void without live sports. In an effort to provide an outlet for them to share their personal stories – including what they miss most and what their hopes are for the future – ESPN launched a new campaign around #DearSports to bring the community together into the larger conversation and asks: “If you could talk to sports, what would you say?”

The initiative kicked off on Twitter from the @espn account with a tweet encouraging fans to use the hashtag and share what they miss most about sports. ESPN is featuring the videos across TV, audio and digital platforms within relevant programming and markets. [ESPN.com/dearsports](http://promo.espn.com/espn/featured/dearsports/ "ESPN.com/dearsports") serves as the platform for individual letter segments.
