Description

Branded entertainment allows the brand an opportunity to communicate their product and image to their target audience in an innovative and original way. Whether it be through an experimental live event or interactive web campaign, the brand can showcase their product in an interesting and exciting way. This campaign was broadcast live on the internet so there were no restrictions imposed by any regulating bodies.

Execution

Through a London City Centre Takeover and live broadcast event, the #StrongerTogether partnership between PUMA/AFC was announced to a global online audience.

The aim was to communicate a deeper understanding of the club’s values to its fans and invite the club’s fans to be a central part of #StrongerTogether.

The campaign expressed how each kit is #StrongerTogether as a trilogy and the aim was to make Arsenal the envy of other Football Fans, and increase perception of the PUMA brand and its understanding of fan culture in Football.
