The Brief

361 is one of China's 3rd largest sportswear brands specializes in footwear, apparel and accessories. Just like the rest of the world, China loves the World Cup more than any other sporting event. But this year there was one major problem. Time zones. The final match of the evening was broadcast at 2:30 am in China. By the time the match is ended, it's almost time for work again. Millions of fans would either struggle to drag themselves back to the office, take sick leave or miss the matches. 361 wanted to give these dedicated fans the one thing they would need most. More sleep.
