Created by the NBA’s Elite basketball development team in partnership with Australian-owned sports management company Basketball Magic, NBA Basketball School Australia is a safe and fun program focused on enhancing basketball knowledge, physical abilities, and personal growth through on-court skill development sessions and off-court workshops on goal setting, mindfulness, and nutrition.

Now We Collide has been appointed as the creative and digital marketing partner, helping to build NBA Basketball School Australia’s presence in market from the ground up. This has included brand strategy, website design and build, digital and social media marketing, and implementation for the launch and ongoing growth across Australia.
