Real New York sports fans are raised on SNY

SNY debuted its annual spring brand campaign ahead of the Mets' 2024 season with ads directed by Nicolas Heller and produced by m ss ng p eces. 

Longtime SNY creative agency Spork NY created the campaign, which plays on the bonding influence that sports provide across generations and in families across the boroughs.

In Bedtime, a father and son appear to be reading a bedtime story in Queens, but they are cleverly hiding a tablet streaming the Mets game. In Magnets, a little girl in Brooklyn is playing with her refrigerator magnets and reacts to her dad’s disappointment in the Nets losing a game by spelling the sentiments out with her alphabet letters. 

In Picture Day, a Staten Island grandmother overrules mom’s veto of her son’s Jets-painted face, even with it being class picture day at school. Each spot in the campaign has a :30 and a :15-second version.

The campaign is called, Real New York sports fans are raised on SNY. SNY SVP/Marketing and Business Development Marie DeParis said about New York’s sports team passion, "We wanted to show how it gets passed down from generation to generation and how children imitate their parents' fandom” 

The ads premiered on SNY’s 19th Mets Spring Training opener Saturday, February 24th and will play across Spectrum cable channels and on social media.
