Bringing Major League Soccer to Portland
The Portland Timbers are a USL soccer team with a rich history and a committed army of fans. In 2011, the Timbers will be reborn as an MLS team. Everything from team uniforms to PGE field will be elevated as the Timbers go from local to national. It’s critical we keep the fans informed and inspired during the transition, and spread the excitement to the greater community of Portland: things just got major. To highlight the changes coming to the Timbers program, Nemo launched portlandmls2011.com. The platform acts as a central hub of information for fans, and is the first part of our 18-month campaign building up to opening day kick-off.
Nice work.
This is SICK!!
MLS in PDX?
Nemo Lets the Fans Do the Talking.
When your official team mascot carries a chainsaw it kinda sets the stage for what comes next- unquestioned intensity, unrivaled passion. As the Portland Timbers enter their final season in the USL before making the jump to the ranks of the MLS in 2011, Nemo was asked to celebrate the essence of the Timbers Fan experience. To capture the Timbers supporter’s creativity, passion, and authenticity in action Nemo enlisted the help of our friends at Kamp Grizzly. Before a sell-out crowd at PGE Park, a team of lensmen spent the day with the famed Timbers Army capturing the action and intensity in dynamic Cannon 7D hi-defness to create a cinematic feel. When combined with a soundtrack of chants and cries from the Timbers faithful, YOU CAN’T FAKE THIS lives loud and proud as the simple truth that the Portland Timbers offer a brand of soccer no other town or team can touch. From the Timbers Army core to the first time fan, the interweb’s been buzzing with praise by way of tweets, posts, comments, likes, and views. “My goose bumps got goose bumps. Thank you Timbers! God Bless them boys in green.” “Watched it over and over and over. So badass.” “Shivers, chills, goose bumps…I’ve got them all. I love what is happening with Timbers soccer…Huge things to come.” “Take that Seattle. The Timbers really do put the Sounders to shame...What's that old saying? It's not the quantity but the quality.” But don’t take their word for it. If you’re in Portland, have a pulse, and want to join the madness come down to PGE Park and prepare to get loud. You gotta go to know.
