The Campaign

We just say #StopPlayingBalls, there are many more interesting activities in the world than wasting hour and half of your life watching football.

Creative Execution

During Euro2016 we created the battle much bigger than football: campaign haters versus those who don’t like watching the game. We offered to take a photo or a video of what you are doing when others are wasting hour and half watching football and add #StopPlayingBalls.

98 000 people were involved on Facebook. We got more than 500 000 site views and free coverage in top-media. With zero budget on TV, we totally turned social conversation to Nemiroff: we got more than 500 000 campaign mentions online. And last but not least – Nemiroff gave an inpulse to people not to be afraid of being football neutral.

We decided to invoke nonfans. We didn’t knew they exist, actually.
