THE SCHEDULING “ERROR”

When we realized that the decisive match was scheduled to kick off just as people were clocking out from work, we saw an opportunity to step up for the fans.

A CAMPAIGN BEYOND ADVERTISING

By the time the Euros arrived, football fever had taken over Hungary. Ads were plastered everywhere, from milk cartons to giant billboards. Yet, in this sea of promotions, Borsodi’s activation stood out – it wasn’t just another ad; it was a movement with a real impact on society. We didn’t just celebrate the game; we changed how people experienced it.
