21. WHICH IS WHY THE WORLD CUP MATTERS THIS YEAR

22. “Nike understands that the story of the world cup is not soccer. the world cup story is about finding courage… …Attaching a brand to a basic, and intense, human feeling is seen in nearly every memorable World Cup campaign. Nike sells personal achievement. Coke sells happiness. McDonald’s sells fun.” - Joe King, mono advertising “What Marketers can Learn from Nike’s World Cup Ads” (Fast Company)

23. TURNING CONSUMER PASSION INTO CONVERSATION Buffalo Wings: #Fannerism Buffalo Wings posted football caricatures on their Instagram feed and asked followers to share their own photos using #Fannerism. Winners were contacted using the Instagram direct messaging service with rewards. The brand gained 1600 followers in between June 6-9 and are continuing to rack up more during the World Cup.

33. SENSORY OUTDOOR ADS FOR GREATER CONSUMER PARTICIPATION Digital displays will play a bigger role in driving transactions and prolonging consumer engagement with a brand.

35. DATA WILL DRIVE REAL-TIME AND PERSONALISATION: THESE WILL BECOME THE NORM The proliferation of channels brands can leverage to communicate with their audience means more distraction for consumers. Brands will have to find a way to weave elements of personalisation into everything they do – from push notifications to intelligent displays. Cisco launched connected billboards (above) to promote the Internet of Everything. The length of the message on the billboard is determined by the driver’s speed, i.e. the faster you’re going the shorter the message. The bus stop on the right lets travellers map their city routes using real-time data to personalise users’ journeys.

36. And for the next world cup… We experience the full spectrum of emotions when it comes to a sporting event this international, this significant and historical. Which means brands have endless opportunities to tap into these feelings and bring every moment to life. …What creative executions we can expect depends on where technology takes us before 2018.
