Creating with the creators. A new breed of marketing for a new breed of football boot.
We invited adidas football creators to help us co-create a new Glitch experience. But when we got them in a room together, something unexpected happened… they couldn’t agree. Each creator had a different perspective with their own take on footballing style, tekkers and attitude. There were plenty of creative differences, but no right or wrong. Just nine creators, creating. So, we went along with it and shaped an entire campaign around a three-way philosophical split which came to life through three self-named cliques: Focus, Riiisk and The Pack.
We co-wrote, co-shot and co-designed the content, including a unique visual identity for each clique. We gave the creators the keys to the adidas marketing machine and allowed them to go social, recruiting peers to join their cliques and attend an exclusive face-off event.
Competition was fierce, but it was the shared passion for football that brought the group together and lit up the night.
Through Glitch Cliques, we co-created a memorable brand experience, not an advertising message, resulting in hundreds of new followers to GlitchFam and a new injection of exclusivity and hype around Glitch: a brand created by the football community for the football community.
