To mark the launch of Union Berlin Women’s third kit, we partnered with adidas to craft a social-first campaign rooted in connection—not cliché. The result? A fresh, emotionally driven story that spotlighted the fans, the players, and the spirit that brings them together—on and off the pitch.

Fan-first storytelling

The campaign opened with a heartfelt voiceover from a lifelong Union supporter—captured during a women’s training session at An der Alten Försterei. His words grounded the film in emotion and authenticity, reminding us that football is for everyone, and that love for the game transcends gender, generation, and expectation.

Players, unfiltered

We extended the campaign with a fashion editorial-style photo series that brought the new kit to life—merging on-pitch power with off-pitch personality. Shot in a raw, documentary style, the visuals featured standout players like Naika Reissner and Fatma Sakar in scenes that felt bold, confident, and true to the team’s DNA.

The campaign landed with impact—boosting visibility for Union Berlin Women and their move to An der Alten Försterei. It reached well beyond football’s usual crowd, with above-benchmark engagement and a narrative that sparked fresh interest while building momentum for the team’s home matches.
