The Chicago Bulls made extremely effective use of the moment/period when series was broadcast and dominated social networks by creating engaging and unique content. Among other topics, the behind-the-scene approach at TikTok will be presented, where together with the mascot Benny the Bull they are the sports club with the most followers in North America and the second most followed sports account in the world. They also created the first branded TikTok content series for a sports team.
