The Topps 2023 Series 1 cover featured Seattle Mariner and 2022 American League Rookie of the Year, Julio Rodríguez. To leverage his cover star status, we created The J-Rod Show, a humor-focused campaign that captures Rodríguez’s charisma and channels the joy of the card-collecting hobby.


Throughout the campaign, Rodríguez takes the spotlight in a series of classic TV show formats. From a home shopping channel to a Bob Ross parody, J-Rod introduces the Series 1 product into a greater pop culture conversation.

The campaign launched with the J-Rod Show teaser going live on the massive “Beast” billboard in Times Square.

For the 2025 launch of Topps’ flagship baseball release, KAMP delivered an out-of-the-park 360° campaign turning retro card art into a spectacle for baseball fans and collectors alike. Starring MLB superstar Aaron Judge, Topps celebrates his ever-expanding career along other rising icons of the game.

KAMP took the Series 1 cover card reveal to the next level with a larger-than-life surprise stunt. Under the ruse of a photoshoot, Aaron Judge unwittingly stepped in front of a 360° Volume Screen playing accolades from die-hard Yankees fan Spike Lee and past Series 1 cover star, Ronald Acuna Jr. KAMP caught the moment in a behind-the-scenes video of Aaron's surprise as he saw his cover card for the very first time.


A campaign launch film was also created to build excitement around the upcoming season and the superstars that make the cards essential to collectors. Using in-game highlights, KAMP placed stars of the game in giant scale throughout the skylines of their team cities, showing that Topps Series 1 is truly larger than life.
