The Creative Ask

For this brief, create short videos, between 30 - 60 seconds and tell us how you enjoy the games throughout the World Cup! We want to see the moments between it all. We know the highlights, but there are snippets of humanity happening between every goal! We want to see those. From your community, to your favorite rituals or even how you showcase your fandom! We want to know, wherever and whoever you are, what makes your football experience special, your team the best, and your country the most likely to win the cup!

We know the World Cup is not your average football season - it is bigger, global and more personal! How does your preparation for it feel unique and different from other seasons?  We want to know how you support football, how it is ingrained in your life, and community. How you celebrate the love of the game!

The videos should be real, fun, authentic, and as engaging as possible. They should feature the in-between moments, the intimacy, the joys, the funny moments all happening at once! A real burst of energy! We want to see the prep work, the emotions during and the feelings after the games! No need for a full production, we want to see the passion first!

We believe those moments make up the connective tissue of the world of Football, and we want to see you contribute to it!
