The Campaign

Hyundai has created Hyundai Cheering Stadium where anyone can enter and make cheers as a football fan representing their own country over the physical constraints. Any football fans from homes, pubs and stadiums can cheer their country with other fans in this digital stadium. If they chant to cheer for their teams via the Campaign Site (PC/Mobile) and Social Media, voices from the same country are gathered together to create one loud chant in real time. The fans from 32 nations compete with each other with a volume of the collected chant. Also, we delivered the chants to the stadiums where the teams competed by advertisements and the fan zone around the stadium.

Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service

Hyundai Motor Company is the brand that redefines the meaning of the vehicle. Hyundai delivers the customers an idea that a car is not just the means of transportation that carries people to destination from the point of departure, but the means of transportation that connects people to people by giving them a chance to experience enjoyable and meaningful moments. So, as an official FIFA partner of the 2018 Russia World Cup, Hyundai Motor Company gathered all football fans from worldwide together and encouraged them to enjoy a more exciting and enthusiastic football event.

As a sponsorship of the FIFA World Cup, we were targeting the fans who were not able to watch the match in person due to the boundaries of space and time and who eager to cheer with other fans in a safe place where they can avoid terrorism. Therefore, we decided to the digital marketing platform of the World Cup that allows all the fans over the world to gather and cheer together whenever and wherever they want. We could connect and inspire fans around the world with the journey over time and space of the football. We have also collaborated with the football legends, Thierry Henry, Cafu, and Lucas Podolski. They shared their football stories about the power of the fans' cheering to win the match. The stories motivate the fans around the world to cheer for their national teams, so the views of the videos were quite impressive.
