Execution
To get this emotional link among Mexican fans, Visa became the exclusive sponsors of Maria Espinoza and the Mexican National Team. The brand also used Facundo (@facufacundo; 1,450,203 twitter followers), one of the users with the most followers in the country, as a spokesperson and developed two video clips with Facundo and the athletes. In these, their abilities were highlighted and users were invited to support them through social networks.
The video clips were unploaded to Visa´s Fan page and viralized through YouTube, Facebook and others. Simultaneously, the worldwide app cheer.visagoworld.com was installed on the FanPage, giving the users the ability to send messages of support to the athletes, and to get updates on their performance, even when the games were broadcasted at night, Mexico time.
