Overview

Execution

Our innovation focused on the most important structure on a football field. We reinvented the goalpost. Steel tubing, welded together formed unique, random shapes. This simple innovative idea led to countless design permutations. No two goalposts are ever the same.

Through mobile, online tutorial videos, interactive posters, Youtube and Facebook, we introduced the rules of the game to millions online and on-ground. With simple rules, the sport became an instant hit. On our Next Games Facebook page, teens could design and vote for their most twisted designs. We turned the most innovative goalpost designs into reality. The top two goalposts were used in the first ever nationwide Twisted Football Tournament.

Twisted Football not only redefined football, it redefined a brand to be relevant to teens.
