Barclays #YouAreFootball

Aim

Following the Libor scandal, Barclays had a reputation problem so they wanted to use their sponsorship of the Premier League to build trust in the brand.

Insight

By celebrating the people who support football in the right way, Barclays would show their values.

Approach

An always-on content campaign that celebrated playing and supporting football in 'the right way'. I led a team of writers, designers, analysts and creatives throughout the season with the aim of making the biggest impact possible with the #YouAreFootball message.

250 million people saw #YouAreFootball content

5.7million video views

£2 million worth of earned media

The campaign resulted in a 10:1 return on Barclays £1m investment

#YouAreFootball Experiment was named one of Campaign's Top 10 Digital Innovations 2014
