How to Win at the World Cup

The World Cup always provides a large commercial opportunity for brands, so there’s no better time to launch a 5-Star campaign that both new and old customers can enjoy and engage with. Our panel discussion with ITV and Zenith goes into detail on how to create an ad worthy of a World Cup.

  • The Winning 11 Women’s World Cup

    The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup is kicking off soon and brands can’t miss out on an opportunity to celebrate women in sports. Our Feeling Seen UK and USA reports found that ads that effectively showcase diversity and inclusion perform better than the average ad, leading to greater market share growth potential for brands.

    View Report

Inspired by our love of football and informed by our predictive measures for short- and long-term impact, we have pulled together our strongest Starting 11. As well as looking at great ads from recent sports events we’ve gone back to some of the brilliant World Cup work of the past to see which commercials still hit the spot and which approaches wouldn’t work so well today.
