Creative Execution
An hour-by-hour, platform-by-platform editorial calendar identified every possibility as early as December. The calendar and a Content Bible became the foundations of adidas Football’s seamless World Cup storytelling.
We built a world class team of football experts and obsessives, who worked for six months to create those tools, flying all over the world to shoot the best players in the world.
At Posto adidas in Rio de Janeiro a fully integrated global and local real-time marketing team created and executed reactive content that was live in social within seconds - and in digital and OOH within minutes.
We gained almost 6 million new fans across our global social channels. And, crucially, became the most talked about brand at the World Cup:
- 1,700,000 million brand mentions on twitter (22% higher than our sports brand competitors)
- 967,000 hashtag uses on Twitter (3 times more than any other brand)
- 32,000,000 views of our tournament content on YouTube
- 246,000 subscribers added to our YouTube channel (making us the fastest growing brand on YouTube)
- 5,970,000 fans added to our global social channels (YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Instagram and Tumblr)
Before the World Cup adidas revealed its lead football message: #allin or nothing was not just an attitude, but the only attitude that can lead to glory. Nothing is left to chance and everything is left out there on the pitch; the sweat and fearlessness extend from the pitch to the training ground, into the gym and through every aspect of life.
We targeted a Global audience of 14-19 year olds with the social objective to be the most talked about brand at the World Cup. We went #allin or nothing every step of the way. As soon as the World Cup draw was made in December 2013 we had an editorial calendar that mapped out every fixture, every possible story, every anticipatable opportunity, from the end of May to the middle of July.
