NFL is, the most popular sport in America, with an avid, expressive fan base with limited access to stylish fan gear – until now. We helped Levi’s launch their NFL collection with a strategic ad tagline and social media call-to-action, then crisscrossed the country to cast, photograph, film, and interview the true fans proud to #showup in their team colors.
Real fans embody the passion of NFL fandom. Fans who #showup no matter what. Rain, sleet, a low probability of win? Doesn’t matter, you #showup for your team.
#showup is a flexible, extensible tagline and a direct call-to-action: #showup for New York, #showup for New England, #showup with your crew, #showup for gameday celebration.
It was critical to cast real fans with great stories to represent the diversity of football fandom and bring style, passion and authenticity to the campaign. We utilized our network to find inspiring faces, including Ann Marie Nitti, the daughter of former Jet’s quarterback John Nitti; The Crushers Club, a boxing group in the southside of Chicago, and Boston’s style maven Deon Point from Concepts.
Our campaign extended into product photography for retail environments.
