The Brief

They didn't have to re-pitch.

adidas came back to us again, this time for the COPA America tournament. The job: put the Federation line, adidas pro soccer gear, in front of football fans while the tournament was happening.

The direction asked for fresh perspectives and out-of-the-box styles. Bold visuals with a retro streak, unique points of view, and every concept built social-first.

Stylish. Vibey. Retro. Bold visuals. Social-first.The style brief
The Moves

What we actually did.

Creative direction, directing, cinematography, styling. One crew, start to finish.

Take 1

Timed to the tournament

The campaign ran during COPA America, when football fans were already paying attention and already wearing the colors.

Take 2

Fans, not athletes

A fisheye hallway, a boombox on a sunny sidewalk, jerseys worn the way fans actually wear them. Retro lenses, real people.

Take 3

Three concepts, two cuts each

Gameday Look, Show Up Like You Mean It and The Crest, each delivered in two edits so the strongest one could lead.

The Receipts

What it added up to.

Federation is the third adidas campaign in the family, after Originals and TERREX. That's the quiet proof here: three product lines, three briefs, one studio they didn't have to re-pitch.
