Augusto & adidas shoot ABs-Black Ferns jersey

AUCKLAND, Today: CBD indie Augusto has created a campaign to unveil news matching jerseys – made with recycled plastics – for the All Black and the Black Ferns. The campaign launched with a 60” hero video, and in social media.

Augusto ECD Adam Thompson said: “For the first time ever, both the All Blacks and Black Ferns replica jerseys are made from primeblue material – An adidas initiative made with the global Parley Ocean plastic programme.

Adidas brand communications manager Andy Lane said: “Our aim was to bring the All Blacks & Black Ferns together under a common ambition: represent the jersey, and inspire those that come next.

“This is the first time a Black Ferns jersey has been made bespoke for the team specifically tailored to accommodate the demands of the women’s game.”

“Working with Augusto was really important to us as they fully understand the significance of the launch moment, and their storytelling always comes through super clearly. Excited for what will come next.”

Augusto ECD Adam Thompson said: “It’s not every day you get to work with an iconic brand set on changing the course of sports history, whilst helping to make the world a better place. It’s been a huge privilege for us to work with our clients to help them bring this initiative to life.

“This launch is also the first time that a Black Ferns jersey has been made bespoke for the team specifically tailored to accommodate the demands of the women’s game.”

To support the launch, this campaign also features a 12-week social plan of stills, stories, and IGTV content.
