OVERVIEW

Background

Quilmes is the most iconic beer in Argentina and has a really strong standpoint about football and how this passion impacts society and culture.

Women's football is booming, but not a profession that complies with regulations and provides stability and visibility to players. in 2019 that women's football was professionalized in Argentina.

The first game in the history of professional women's football in Argentina was the derby between Boca Juniors and River Plate, but to everyone's surprise, it was scheduled on a Tuesday at 3pm. then, no one could watch it.

All derbies should be played at a time when everyone can watch it.

Idea

Our first step was to expose the topic and our perspective in social networks: "any Superclásico should be played at a time where everyone can see it". But our community did not respond as we expected, they didn’t support us, they reacted with sexist comments. And, as mentioned before, these attitudes are something that we reject. So, we decided to go further. In addition to putting the issue on everyone's lips, we sought to take this to a higher level. We changed our media investment from men's football to women's, and we bought 2 hours on TNT Sports to rebroadcast the game at the same time that any derby would do, a Tuesday at 9pm.

Strategy

INSIGHT: Not many people realized that the women's soccer superclassic was played on a schedule where the men's would never be played. Nobody raised the subject.

STRATEGY: We raised the information on our social networks and since the community did not support us, it reacted in a macho and aggressive way, we decided to make it news. We sent the note and our content to different feminist communities that talk about women's football and, at the same time, to the most important sports media in our country.

Execution

We used the male’s football budget for buying to hours in TNT sports and re broadcast feminine superclásico at 9PM.

Letting all Argentinean people enjoy a such importan match.

Outcome

Broadcasting the game, not only reinforced Quilmes support for Argentine football, but we also managed to expose our point of view on the context of women's football and bring it to a concrete fact. We understand that the results and the success of the action are entirely for women's football.

The goal was to broadcast the first women's professional football match in Argentine history going from 40.000 viewers to 420.000.

After these, TNT rebroadcasted the most important matches of these category in order to give female sports the visibility it deserves.

Also we achieve 5M earned Media and 14M impressions.
