  2. 2

    The Adversity Pivot

  4. 4

    The Value Proposition Play

    Present an example that succeeded by challenging a common assumption or leveraging a customer pain point to create a simple, compelling comparison. This provides a fresh, data-driven perspective.

    Who Won the Marketing World Cup ?

Transcript

Who's won the marketing battle off the pitch in the Worse Cup? Norway, Levi's, Heinz, and Airfare. Let's jump in. The darling of the World Cup off the pitch is Erling Haaland. The guy is incredible on the pitch. He seems really down to earth off the pitch. The Norway fans have taken over everywhere from Miami to Tier Square. When the Norwegian tier started their journey with a team photo dressed up like this, we had to know we were in for a treat. And while Holland's handbags get a lot of attention, the suitcases just below are a real win for them as well. Last year, Erling Holland's invested in DB Journey, and they were able to secure Norway with these custom suitcases. This is a huge win for a smaller company who's doing great work. Next up is Levi's. If you work in marketing long enough, you know that when things go wrong, that's when the job starts. FIFA has really strict guidelines for their stadium signage. And while Levi's is the title sponsor of the San Francisco Stadium, they were not allowed to have their logo shown during the Worse Cup. So they completely owned it and just started changing their handle to that logo. All of their content, they just totally leaned into not being able to show that logo. They did fit checks outside the World Cup and yes their logo to cover people's mouths. Best an absolutely incredible execution for a company making the most out of a tough situation. Hines, I was not familiar with your game creating the yellow and the red card penalty packet. Incredible way to tap into the World Cup energy without having to be an official FIFA sponsor. And last better certainly not least, a Canadian airline company tapped into the sentiment around how expensive World Cup tickets were. And they created these great billboards where it would cost $3,000 to watch France, but you could go for $750 to actually see Rank, the country. They did this with multiple countries like Mexico and more. Just an incredible simple campaign that is really brilliant. Let me know which one is your favorite and which ones I missed.
