Influencer Marketing – Adidas Campaign
When creating the content marketing strategy for athlete Rony Lopes, we collaborated with Adidas, our client’s representative sports brand, to develop a brand activation campaign featuring Portuguese YouTube influencer, Daizer.
Marketing Campaign – Creative Concept
The creative concept for this campaign was a guerrilla marketing strategy, which focuses on delivering a message in an innovative and unconventional way. By employing this marketing approach, we were able to significantly enhance the impact of the campaign on the target audience with minimal investment and a high degree of creativity.
Our collaboration with Rony Lopes began when he returned to the game after a serious injury that had kept him sidelined for over 14 weeks. To capitalize on the momentum of his return, we made his comeback the central message of the campaign, emphasizing the crucial role his fans played in his recovery. We launched the “best inspirational message” challenge, encouraging fans to submit messages of support, with the author of the best message winning an official jersey of the athlete.
As a token of gratitude to his fans, we customised a white jersey with the hundreds of digital messages of support sent to Rony Lopes (see images below) for his first game back. The text on the jersey read “Smash Your Goals,” which was the brand message developed for the athlete by Bright Creative Group.
The results were extremely successful: in addition to scoring a goal in his return match, Rony celebrated by displaying his personalized jersey adorned with messages of support from his fans, and his performance helped Monaco reach the semi-finals of the Coupe de la Ligue that year.
The campaign gained significant traction on digital and social media after the football match and attracted widespread attention from national and international sports media.
