Concept.

The best sport, is live sport.  No other viewing experience comes close to the intensity and exhilaration of witnessing the incredible, jaw dropping moment as it happens live - but if you miss it, you've missed it.

 

The Sky F1 2021 campaign brings out this truth with impactful imagery, disruptive AV and platform-first social creative to deliver a simple and compelling idea...

Idea.

The greatest moments in sport are only live once...don't miss them.

Social.

The social campaign took a 'format first' attitude and focused on consumer insights, behaviour and niche audience targets to drive the creative.

The YouTube creative understands and plays with the viewers' antipathy for advertising then converts it into a campaign selling point.

Simple and consistent visuals allow the entire campaign idea to be told in the swipe of a screen, across every platform.

Twitch users already understand the value of enjoying live content, in particular e-sports and gaming.  The Twitch creative was developed to mirror the first-person live gaming experience on the platform.
