Visa explores the story behind jersey numbers in new Women’s World Cup campaign
Financial service company Visa has launched a new campaign ahead of FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023, highlighting the story behind a sports player’s jersey number.
The integrated campaign, created by Saatchi & Saatchi Australia, will take place across TV, online video and social, followed by OOH in July.
The 30-second TVC tells the story behind Ellie Carpenter (Lyon and Matildas) and Claudia Bunge (Melbourne Victory and NZ Football Ferns), both returning home this winter to play for their country.
Natalie Lockwood, Visa’s head of marketing for Australia, New Zealand and South Pacific, said: “Visa is a data-driven company that analyses numbers for meaningful insights.
“Be it a transaction we enable, game statistics or a jersey number, there’s a personal story. In particular, we want to actively celebrate the stories and power of the women who are inspired to play this beautiful game, from parks to stadiums.”
Piero Ruzzene, creative director at Saatchi & Saatchi, added: “We’ve chosen to tell a single woman’s story in film, which not only seeks to show how a moment with Visa can inspire great possibility, but further proves that a person can never know where a seemingly routine transaction can lead them.”
The campaign is the latest in a series of Women’s World Cup campaigns from supporting brands, including those from Coca-Cola, Adidas and CommBank. It also marks Visa’s fifth consecutive sponsorship of the tournament.
