Nine tiles that form the CIBC diamond when scrolled: white corners, red edges, maroon centre. The grid itself does the branding — no logo slap required.

Same campaign, dressed in Tempo Bordeaux and Borealis Blue. CIBC's patch already lives on the jersey abdomen — so the jersey itself becomes the hero creative.

The jersey says CIBC.
The seat could say you.

The CIBC diamond sits on the abdomen patch of every Toronto Tempo jersey. We put that same patch on the poster — proof of partnership in a single frame, no logo lockup required.

Jersey note: jersey artwork is an illustrative mockup referencing the real uniform system (Explorer in Tempo Bordeaux, Heroine in white, speed lines, CIBC abdomen patch); final creative uses official Tempo photography and marks under the partnership license.

WhyThis Works

Can I Be Courtside isn't a giveaway. It's a season-long content engine that turns CIBC cardholder benefits into a story the whole city retells every Friday at 6PM.

Benefit becomes narrative

The 2× cardholder entry boost is the perk. The weekly crowning is the story. Every winner reveal is a highlight reel with the CIBC lockup baked in — not slapped on.

Organic content flywheel

Every submission is a piece of CIBC content the fan made themselves. Voting drives shares. Winners drive earned press. The campaign feeds itself.

Soft acquisition ping

The 2× boost is a friction-light reason to check cardholder status. Every voter is a warmed-up prospect, not a cold impression.
