ADIDAS FOOTBALL: IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING

adidas Euro 2021: The Wake Up Call

adidas Football wanted to use their role as sponsors of Euro2021 to wake up the world to the possibilities of a more inclusive future.

Dropping on the eve of the tournament, our film featured Paul Pogba, Thiago Alcantara and Serge Gnabry, alongside stars from #adidasfootballcollective teams FC Internationale from Berlin, FC Not Alone in London and Le Monde FC in Paris.

With a VO from the legend Ian Wright, we also create local versions for Germany, Italy, France and Spain, and the spot ran across social, and on TV in all markets.
