Hasta La Motion!

BBC coverage of the FIFA 2014 World Cup is being promoted with an integrated advertising campaign featuring a group of plastic football figurines that hitch a ride with the BBC to watch the tournament in Brazil. The first video follows the adventures of Chris, Sammy, Gary and Paulo on their journey from Manchester to Rio. The second video shows them arriving in Rio travelling in Rio Ferdinand’s bag. The four characters continue to appear on the BBC’s FIFA related sites.
