Hasta La Motion!

Rosetta Stone has just unveiled “Create a Smaller World”, a multi-platform advertising campaign encouraging millennials to learn a new language using online software. Every day, millions of people use a second language to make a happier, smarter, and more connected world. The multimedia campaign, online at rosettastone.com/smallerworld, includes TV, radio, print, digital marketing and social media. The :60 TV launch spot, directed by Young Replicant from Pulse Films, focuses on how learning a new language can help people form connections with others. The campaign will also be supported by a four-part web series developed in partnership with VICE, covering German, Spanish, English, French and English immersion experiences.

Germany is known for having particularly passionate soccer fans. (Or should we call them, “futball” fans?) Their passion grows exponentially during the World Cup. Which was evident when Rosetta Stone sent Colm, an American soccer player from NYU, to Berlin to watch the German vs U.S. World Cup game. Equipped with Rosetta Stone German, Colm quickly learned how to navigate the waters as a U.S. fan in a sea of German hooligans.
