Rexona × FIFA · 2025

The world's most
famous trophy, on home soil.

Client Project

When the FIFA World Cup Winner's Trophy Tour arrived in Morocco, Rexona was there as an official activation partner. Working with sports marketing agency S-Factor Sports & Entertainment, Portfolio Creative built the campaign key visual and art direction — and adapted the whole system across English and Arabic for a fan-first activation on one of football's biggest global stages.

Rexona × FIFA World Cup Winner's Trophy Tour Morocco — campaign key visual pairing the FIFA World Cup trophy with Rexona branding
The Challenge

One icon. Two languages.
Zero room for error.

The FIFA World Cup trophy is one of the most recognisable objects in the world — and it arrives with one of the most protected brand frameworks in global sport. Rexona's activation had to feel unmistakably part of the Trophy Tour while staying true to its own brand identity.

The work also had to live in two languages at once. Every layout needed to read as naturally in Arabic as it did in English — not translated, but designed for both — across a suite of fan-facing digital formats built for the Moroccan market.

Languages — every key visual designed and laid out for both English and Arabic audiences

Our Approach

Build the hero first.
Then build around it.

We started where the energy is: the trophy. The key visual was built to make the FIFA World Cup trophy the undisputed centre of gravity, with Rexona's brand presence framing the moment rather than competing with it — a partner standing alongside the icon, not on top of it.

From that master visual we built outward into a flexible system: one art-directed look that could flex across digital ad formats, hold up at fan-activation scale, and switch cleanly between English and Arabic without ever losing its impact or its meaning.

The master campaign key visual — the look that anchored every format in the system

Bilingual Art Direction

Designed for both audiences,
not translated for one.

Arabic and English don't just read in different directions — they have different rhythms, weights and spatial logic. Rather than dropping translated text into an English layout, each version was art-directed in its own right, so both feel native, balanced and on-brand.

English & Arabic — Same System

Rexona × FIFA fan key visual, Arabic version — the same campaign system art-directed for Arabic right-to-left layout, FIFA World Cup trophy and Rexona branding

The same key visual in English and Arabic — one system, two natively designed executions
