Sixers unveil new marketing plan

PHILADELPHIA – The Philadelphia 76ers new Chief Executive Officer Adam Aron announced today a new marketing campaign for the team that embodies the city of Philadelphia and defines the essence of the Sixers and its fan base:

“PASSIONATE. INTENSE. PROUD.”

“This new Sixers tagline is more than just words to me, our ownership group and our organization – it is a pure encapsulation of the Sixers identity,” Aron said. “As we start a new era of 76ers basketball, we are determined to make these all-important principles the centerpiece of our franchise and the foundation on which we will operate.”
