Three times is a charm for ESPN x State Farm's "Inner Baller" campaign!??? Our FIN Studios team is celebrating three Silver The Clios Sports wins with our amazing partners at Disney + ESPN CreativeWorks, Michael Prado, Jamie Overkamp, Kim Salatino, Katelyn Sabater?and Colin Ryan, for "Inner Baller" in Branded Entertainment/Content, Athlete Storytelling and Partnerships & Sponsorships. We are excited to be part of such powerful storytelling in women's sports. Featuring hoop stars on the rise, Caitlin Clark, Kamilla Cardoso, and Kiki Rice, the series taps into their "Inner Ballers," the young girls who fell in love with the game. The heart-felt campaign is an extension of the Full Court Press documentary, which allows viewers to see a more vulnerable side of these elite athletes. Special shoutout to director Aimee Hoffman and producer Miranda Kahn for their commitment to bringing this work to life.

Trophy season is just beginning! ?? Time to celebrate a Bronze The Clios Sports award for Under Armour's "Armour Up" music video in Film Craft, Music. To inspire women athletes on the biggest sports stage of the year, Women's World Cup, we needed to speak their language and exude authenticity. This fierce competition inspired "Armour Up," an entirely original track and music video in the form of a rap battle.
