Thjnk and Ochsner Sport declare football a winter sport

To kick off the World Cup in Qatar, Thjnk Zurich and Ochsner Sport are launching a campaign in which the sports retailer declares football the new winter sport.

With its brand claim "Switzerland is our sports ground", Ochsner Sport encourages Swiss people to get out and play sports. Be it by bike or with running shoes from spring to fall, or with skis and snowboards in winter. But this year everything is a bit different. For the first time a football world championship takes place in winter. Therefore, football without further ado becomes the new winter sport.

The current campaign is all about the new winter sport. So we see a boy building a snowman. But the head of the snowman makes itself independent and thus becomes a soccer ball. The result is a football spectacle that is seen throughout the neighborhood. Even SRF expert and former Swiss national team goalkeeper Diego Benaglio joins in.

The film can be seen on TV, at POS and in various online formats. In addition, subjects were implemented that are used online and in print.
