With each goal scored, we were ready to celebrate IMMEDIATELY.

The celebratory videos and banners were posted on social media and alongside ESPN and Univision

On Twitter, we ran the Promoted Trend #VWGolfGTI, targeting relevant users and keywords.

To gain further credibility with fans, we worked with on-air talent from ESPN and Univision (including famed sports commentator Andres Cantor) to create performance-focused vignettes to air on TV.

Next, we secured spots in every single match across the networks, alongside companion digital placements online, including homepage takeovers and a sponsorship of the Univision Fan Forum.
