It's Not Football, It's War — key visual

The brief

Sony Sports' La Liga rights demanded more than match-promo. We positioned the new season as a continent at war — It's Not Football, It's War — using portraiture and high-contrast cuts of the rivalries that define Spanish football.

The craft

A multi-week tournament platform anchored by hero films and match-day teasers, timed around El Clásico, the Madrid Derby and the title run-in. Won Goafest Bronze and Primetime Gold + Silver.
