Goal: To rekindle passion for soccer and drive merchandise sales

Claim: Brought back the love for the game

Summary: Adidas reported a substantial increase in Q2 marketing spending, attributing much of this to its World Cup campaign 'Backyard Legends', which reportedly rekindled soccer-loving sentiments among fans and significantly boosted merchandise sales. Despite record net sales, increase in marketing costs led to a drop in shares, as profit expectations were not met. The campaign, featuring Timothée Chalamet, also facilitated a notable rise in jersey and ball sales during the World Cup.
