Description

We wanted Champions for Life 2017 to be “A MATCH TO REMEMBER”, an amazing football match were La Liga stars played the best moves people ever sow.

In order to get this ambitious objective, we did something special:

FOR FIRST TIME IN HISTORY, PEOPE COULD DECIDE WHAT MOVES PLAYERS HAD TO MAKE IN REAL TIME.

How?

1.- People got into a mobile website while watching the match.

It was actively communicated live during the match.

2.- They asked for specific moves to be executed during the match (donation).

Everytime a move was asked, fans made an economic contribution to Unicef.

In addition, they could invite friends to participate, and share it on social networks.

3.- Scoreboards displayed the moves to be executed in the following minutes.

People in the stadium encouraged players to execute the moves demanded by the audienced.

4.- Players did it.

People asked for more moves!

5.- The match got the attention of mass media.
