The film was part of a 360-integrated global campaign featuring (D)OOHs, AR and retail experiences, and many more — creating an interconnected experiential community-led space that merges the virtual and physical, surrounding the 2022 World Cup.
A key visual system was created featuring an illustrated movie poster of the athletes starring in the film. Each individual athlete illustration was repurposed for location-specific and social activations.
Working closely with Nike’s Global Brand Design team, we designed logos and assets to be included in their global guidelines for activations surrounding the campaign.

By championing incredible Nike players, past and present, Footballverse also shows that every generation of athletes makes a unique footprint on the game, expands the sport, and inspires future generations to leave their mark.
Our platform for the campaign was ‘You’re Up,’ summoning the next generation of players to step up to the pitch and become legends of their own. We created an identity for the platform, creating a custom ‘O’ icon inspired by the wormhole in the film that extended into a graphic element across activations that could also house QR codes across retail and OOH.
