The Opportunity

Sports culture is often represented through one loud, predictable version of fandom. Starbucks could recognise the many personalities, rituals and emotions that make every fan different.

The Big Idea

ORIGINAL IS EVERY KIND OF FAN.

The platform celebrated every expression of fandom, from the superstitious supporter and silent believer to the analyst, entertainer and emotional wreck. Starbucks became the welcoming space where every kind of fan could experience the game in their own way.

Creative Leadership

Authored the campaign platform and line, then built the visual system around distinctive fan archetypes. Directed the image language, character styling, compositions, colour codes and modular design logic across social, digital, in-store and outdoor communication.

Impact

Gave Starbucks a culturally relevant role inside sports without trying to behave like a sports brand. The platform could travel across teams, tournaments and markets while keeping one clear emotional idea at its centre.
