The challenge

World Cup sponsorship rules required Levi's branding at its stadium to be covered. The challenge was to make that enforced absence work for the brand.

The idea

A white cover still revealed the logo's distinctive outline. BETC and AKQA extended that visual joke through a social film, profile images, covered shop signs and products.

Results

  • AKQA reports 2.1 billion impressions and 364 million views for the campaign.
