The coolest deciduous dude you’ll ever meet, Ticket Oak always has tickets to the hottest games and concerts, is a member of the Advertising Hall of Fame and, in his off-time, loves to ride a Chestnut mare. But for the whole strange story, you’ll have to see StubHub’s just-launched Spring-Summer campaign. Created by agency-of-record Duncan/Channon (that’s us), fresh from its 4A’s O’Toole win for last year’s StubHub media plan, the new spots are focused on concert tickets and running on, among others, Jimmy Kimmel, American Idol, SNL and Mad Men. In addition, StubHub is sponsoring the Billboard, CMT and iHeartRadio awards, summer festival coverage on Pitchfork, and NPR’s First Listen Live, among a variety of rockin’ programming. And print ads will appear alongside music coverage in US Weekly and Entertainment Weekly. StubHub and Ticket Oak, we salute you.
