The Big Catch-Up

InsightDuring the World Cup, every woman becomes a football fan.
CampaignWhile every brand was chasing the male fan, the female fan was overlooked. So Heinz put her first. Instead of guessing what she wanted, we asked: six macro-influencers asked their followers how they really watch football with their girlfriends. Their answers became the blueprint for The Big Catch-Up, a watch party built entirely around the female fan.

Gold starts
with pancakes

InsightOn the morning she won Olympic gold in Milan, Antoinette Rijpma-de Jong’s husband Coen was still baking her pancakes.
CampaignAntoinette shared it in an interview right after her win. Together with Koopmans we turned that moment into a social campaign: the base of her gold was pancakes, and nothing would change in the run-up to the World Championships a few weeks later. So Coen made sure her preparation was perfect.

FC Groningen Vrouwen

ChallengeDevelop a future-proof vision for women’s football at FC Groningen.
The projectWe built the brand strategy for FC Groningen Vrouwen. Starting from the market context and the club’s ambition, we defined the mission, the vision and the story. We added a fifth value, Eigenzinnig, to the club-wide G.A.S.T., mapped four supporter personas and the role of players as storytellers, and turned it all into a partner proposition built on co-builders, not sponsors.
