The most powerful way to promote the prize was to turn it into the campaign itself.

Challenge

Bitburger’s World Cup promotion offered fans a flight to Brazil, but the prize needed to feel legendary before anyone had won it. A point-of-sale mechanic had to become a story people wanted to join.

The print ad shows German football fans celebrating in front of the FAN FORCE ONE branded aircraft that says

Approach

We made the prize the campaign icon. An Airberlin Airbus became FAN FORCE ONE, connecting crown-cap collecting, packaging, retail communication, community, and the real journey in one unmistakable image.

Impact

The aircraft turned a promotion into a shared fan story, and the FAN FORCE ONE community continued to live online years after the 2014 campaign.

My contribution

As Art Director, I helped shape the campaign idea and its visual expression across the aircraft, point of sale, and supporting communication.
