Peru had just played the World Cup in Russia and to win the FIFA award for "the best supporter in the world", a prize we won together by demonstrating our massive passion in the world championship

In October 2018, days after receiving the FIFA award, our team would play a friendly match Miami against our classic rival: Chile Rival whose last match played in 2016 was marred by an unsportsmanlike event that went viral After defeating Peru, the players of the Chilean team left a pint on the wall of the dressing room of the Peruvian stadium that said: "Respect, here the champion of America passed."

We set out to rewrite that story

The football teams of Peru and Chile have always had a special rivalry and at the end of a match in 2016 the Chilean players left a pint in the locker room of the national stadium in Lima: "Respect, for here went the champion of america. "

After the World Cup, Peru faced Chile in a friendly match, already with the title of "Best fans in the world" according to FIFA. Cerveza Cristal, official sponsor of the Peruvian national team, had a great idea. The digital displays of Hard Rock Stadium intervened with an identical replica of the messagethe Chileans left at the national stadium in Lima, but with a far more positive message: "THE BEST FANS IN THE WORLD WALKED HERE UNITED". That's how we turned a controversial memory into a positive message of unity for our fans.

The idea is a clear example of content marketing in real time, which managed to capitalize on a focus of conversation, through a simple action at a relevant and historical juncture leveraged in one of the most important passion points of the brand: The Peruvian team.

We detected the need to celebrate being the best fans in the world.Then, we find the ideal scenario: Against the classic rival: Chile and we responded as a celebrative message, according to our brand purpose: United everything is better. This is how the copy was born: "THE BEST FANS IN THE WORLD WALKED HERE UNITED".
