Taking advantage of the Twitter Crop

Twitter recently implemented a new crop size for media shared in-feed and teams are taking advantage of the additional space to be creative. Throughout the playoffs, we’ve seen the Bucks and Clippers use Slate to share arrival and in-game content in the new dimension.

Supporting Sponsorships

With the effects of COVID on full display this season, teams looked for novel opportunities to include sponsors. Although COVID restrictions have loosened since the beginning of the season, including sponsors in social content is here to stay, made evident by teams like the Mavericks and Nets producing sponsored playoff content.
