ZUZU F.C.

To those committed to 2025 like Maradona was to 1994... Big ideas don’t come easy. So, let us do the work. Let us find our cornfield with high grass where our creative minds can run wild. Saw wood with absolutely no technique? DO IT. Try something new to keep the thinking fresh. Hang upside down for a new perspective, pumping blood through your brain, letting the ideas flow. Be the fool catching a ball between your legs, even if no one understands why the hell you’re doing it. They just don’t know…yet. At some point, all this random, crazy shit you did will click and BOOM…that idea will drop like a bomb. When it does, run with it. Sprint like a lean-mean-Maradona-machine. And then, do it all over again. 2025, let’s go ??? ?? ??? #motivation #soccer #futbol #futebol #creative

Morning inspo coming from PUMA Group’s + FPF - Federa??o Portuguesa de Futebol kit launch spot? ???? ? —Portuguese word by word (loosely but accurately translated). No SIUUUUUUUU ?? ?? ?? but it’ll still get you going... ?? Listen up, We've been in this for a long time. Stop now? No way. Call us mad, yeah… We’re madly in love with this jersey A love that we don’t just live in a day. But we live for this game… Every. Single. Day. Our legends open the path? Golden Boots.? Golden Balls (Ballon D’or) Golden Generations. But, we’re not here to talk about the past… We’re here to deliver a new story for History to tell. [History Needs Makers] Forever Fast. #puma #futebol #ads #creative

What's that word again ??... ...ah, yeah, the BEST ? Nike celebrating not just the player but his origins, his identity, and his fight. Deixa o menino sambar ?? ? ?? #soccer #futebol #soocerads #rightawrong

Showing what it's like to face La Albiceleste without saying what it's like to face La Albiceleste. #soccerads #futbol #creative #showdonttell #uruguay

The pompeii X Kappa film ending is a rip off? For those who knew the reference, did you react by spitting out your drink mid-sip, shouting...HOLY SH%T they just ripped off 2007’s Nike "Ballprints" we gotta call someone! Not really. This outdoor campaign won every single award under the advertisement sun in 2007—back when LinkedIn was a typo more than a social platform. But was it original? Not exactly.? That’s because ‘things’ forming ‘other things’ isn’t so much a creative idea as it is a creative formula, a tool, like a musical instrument that goes on and off style. Creative ideas once considered fresh eventually get old, only to come back around, moving in cycles and circles. So, the question might be…how well was this tool used? And for those unfamiliar with the Nike work, how do you feel about it now? #questions #football #soccer #creativity #Kappa

The Brazilian giant Sport Club Corinthians Paulista number 94, Memphis Depay ????, is making a different kind of collab—with the people of S?o Paulo ?? On the streets. Meeting fans where they are. Experiencing culture with no filters. Depay has already won Brazil ???? ?? ?? ?? #soccer #futebol #culture #inspiration

This is too crafted. Just look at it.? Everything is thought out.? It can’t be repurposed.?? It’s not evergreen.? What a waste.? A meticulously choreographed photograph that you can almost see it in motion. It’s like watching a play where every element is a character with wants and needs.?And no words? Not even that attention-grabbing CTA??What's the takeaway? Probably no copywriter involved.?A clear miss.? And, imagine how long it would take? You can’t just come up with that.? It was scribbled down from someone’s mind to paper. Then illustrated. Then captured by a highly-artistic photographer. All of that for what?? To become a piece permanently archived in the creative zeitgeist?? What kind of KPI is that?? So, no.? No, thanks.? If no one else out there is doing this way, why would we? #bringitback #conceptualwork #soccerads #simplertimes #tbt #nike

Where does that swagger Brazilian footballers have come from? ???? ? We have a (wild) theory—one that ties together culture, identity, and the beautiful game. #soccer #futebol #soccerculture

Warning ?? this post contains heavy doses of nostalgia and name-dropping ?? Nike X Corteiz are back with a teaser for their next collab, directed by none other than Gabriel Moses and featuring a star-studded lineup that could fill an entire LinkedIn article with names alone—including Eduardo Camavinga, Kobbie Mainoo, Chloe Kelly, Freda Ayisi, Edgar Davids, and music by Treble. They brought it back Nike’s iconic 2001 freestyle ad, swapping its cheeky energy for a cool, dreamy vibe of flicks and tricks ?? Were you alive when the 2001 original came out???? #soccer #football #nostalgia #ads https://lnkd.in/gp-tDcM8

XBOX creates a football fairytale, Moneyball-style, by helping a small club recruit a football analyst from an untapped talent pool—gamers. ‘The Everyday Tactician’ launched Football Manager 24 giving a free lesson on how to take the golden rule of content—be authentic—to new heights. To satisfy Linkedin’s algo gods ?? , let’s nail down the takeaways… Finding a creative spark ?? If an idea lives in a vacuum, it won’t connect with an audience. This campaign taps into the universal truth: every football fan thinks they could do a better job than the ones on the job. If only they had a way to prove it… The product is the hammer??? … and with Football Manager, they can. This hyper-real football match simulator is the hammer to the audience’s nail. The product isn’t just shoehorned into an interesting concept—it is the solution, allowing people to land a real job as a Tactician playing out of their basement.? Being authentic: All or nothing ?? The easy route would’ve been to team up with a big EPL team, giving gamers an internship at Arsenal F.C and calling it a day. But XBOX pushed to partner with Bromley FC—a club with a budget that’s a fraction of any EPL team and truly in need of help. The stakes are real, and the audience has a reason to care. As Bromley's head coach put it, "This job has to be real. It can’t be bullshit." Write it like a drama ?? With all elements of a great tale in place, XBOX keeps the hype going with a long-form content series. By partnering with TNT Sports, they ensure the story is served to the right audience and not into the internet’s content black hole.? Agree? What do you think is next…. EA FC gamer hired as a head coach? ?? #soccer #football #xbox #creative
