Budweiser: Blessed by Sir Geoff Hurst

Budweiser Euro 2024: 12 million beers blessed by Sir Geoff Hurst

 

To connect with fans and help England ‘Bring It Home’, we turned every can of Bud into a talisman of greatness with the last living legend of the 1966 World Cup-winning team.

BRONZE AT CLIO SPORTS

 
 

We borrowed Sir Geoff’s lucky red 1966 Final shirt from the National Football Museum, placing a mysterious teaser.

The spot debuted at Wembley in front of 80,000 fans during England’s last friendly match before the Euros. Sir Geoff was interviewed on the pitch about the campaign.

We also hid England Easter eggs in the film, from references to current squad members to the result of the 1966 Final.
