​

AGENCY

​

MARKET CONTEXT

Racism in football is a thriving issue on and off the field. Being a leader brand, EA Sports FIFA wanted to address this social evil both in the sport as well as in the gaming world.

  

THE CHALLENGE

Gen Z and Millennials suffer from an awareness fatigue with respect to Racism leading to all talk but no action.

 

THE INSIGHT

Racism is counterproductive both for the victims and the oppressors. The real strength of the game lies in embracing the differences.

​

THE STRATEGY: 

Change the approach from Purpose Driven Marketing --> Brand Activism

Strategic Idea: Diversity fuels the Game

Shifting the focus from Anti-Racism to Pro-Diversity will lead to a positive reinforcement of the benefits of Diversity causing sustained behavioral change.

​

THE EXECUTION: 

Creative Expression – Diversity, It's in the Game!

Re-contextualizing the iconic EA Sports slogan of 'It's in the game' to highlight the benefits of supporting Diversity at a gaming and sports level.

Launching the EA Sports FIFA Foundation for uplifting underprivileged, BIPOC children in grassroots football.
