Nick March Basketball Bracket

Audience Honor in Polls & Surveys

Objectives

Leverage the collective mania of college basketball brackets in March, creating a basketball bracket of our own, featuring some favorite Nickelodeon characters.

Strategy and Execution

We published this poll-based story in phases throughout the course of a couple days, that aligned with the NCAA's Final Four weekend (which any basketball fan knows is peak time for hoops-related content). This gave fans plenty of time to vote before the slides expired, & we updated the bracket results in real time.

Results

This was one of Nickelodeon's most successful Instagram Stories of all time.
