Herzogenaurach, Germany

Global sports company PUMA has launched the second chapter of its first worldwide brand campaign in 10 years “FOREVER. FASTER. – See The Game Like We Do”. New chapter is fully dedicated to the UEFA Euro 2024 and the 2024 Copa América.

This summer PUMA starts with two spin-offs of its globally featured brand campaign, where the company tells the story around its best in class football athletes. As speed has always been PUMA’s vantage point, the new chapter shows how speed is important in football and beyond. When players are on the pitch, they have only a second to make a decision and react. This passion for speed is simply universal. “See The Game Like We Do: FOREVER. FASTER.” means to see sports and sports culture differently and ultimately win in a way only the fastest can. In a way only PUMA can.

“We are dedicated to enhancing our brand’s presence through a comprehensive media strategy that blends traditional channels with innovative technologies to engage our consumers. Our efforts will specifically emphasize social media, leveraging our team of ambassadors and influencers. Additionally, we will explore new mechanisms to create exciting experiences,” said Richard Teyssier, Vice President Brand and Marketing.

Max Pollack, co-founder & managing partner of MATTE Projects, a partner agency for this brand campaign, said, “Working with PUMA to redefine their powerful brand promise “Forever. Faster.” has been a defining experience for MATTE. We are honored to collaborate with such a trusting and forward thinking partner, and especially with their leadership as we shape this new platform together. Game changers win by seeing the game differently. This is something that we believe to our very core, and we’re excited to see PUMA fully embrace this ethos to win the year of sport.”

“FOREVER. FASTER. – See The Game Like We Do”, EURO and COPA spin-offs launch on June 6th, and will be communicated across the entire media mix, such as social media, TV, PR, Out Of Home and Points of Sale worldwide. Two movies and supporting creative assets feature Jack Grealish, Antoine Griezmann, Christian Pulisic, Javier “Chicharito” Hernández, Kai Havertz, Memphis Depay, Neymar Jr., and Sergio Aguero. Later this year, PUMA will present dedicated brand videos and creative assets for The 2024 Summer Olympics.

Global sports company PUMA has launched its first worldwide brand campaign in 10 years “FOREVER. FASTER. – See The Game Like We Do” with the objective to strengthen PUMA’s positioning as the Fastest Sports Brand in the world. The campaign conveys the brand’s unique connection with speed and invites everyone – professional and everyday athletes alike – to see the game like PUMA does.

PUMA was founded in 1948 by Rudolf Dassler who had the vision to create shoes that make athletes agile, nimble and fast – just like a puma. Over the last 75 years, PUMA has worked with the fastest athletes, clubs and federations in the world to create cutting-edge innovations that provide sporting excellence and victories that live forever in the memories of fans across the globe.

This year – through the globally featured Brand Campaign – PUMA is demonstrating how speed has always been deeply rooted in the brand’s DNA. Speed has always been PUMA’s vantage point. The desire to be faster and overtake others is in everyone’s nature. To go faster gives you joy and an adrenaline rush like no other. The passion for speed is simply universal. “See The Game Like We Do: FOREVER. FASTER.” means to see sports and sports culture differently and ultimately win in a way only the fastest can. In a way only PUMA can. PUMA has always been able to be the first to see the next play, quick to act on its instinct, and set the pace for others to follow. This is what enables us to see the game differently, challenge conventions and create moments that will live with us forever.

“Everyone dreams of having a superpower and speed is PUMA’s,” said Arne Freundt, CEO of PUMA. “Speed is the superpower the greats use to change the game. Just like our world icons Mondo Duplantis, Karsten Warholm, Neymar Jr or Breanna Stewart, we know that speed unlocks athletic performance and victory in everyone. Through our ability to bring speed to life, PUMA invites all people to break through their own limits, unlock their personal best and become a better version of themselves, allowing them to see the game like we do: FOREVER. FASTER.”

“Our new global brand campaign is PUMA’s biggest marketing investment ever,” said Richard Teyssier, Vice President Brand and Marketing. “It is the first time that PUMA has one single message – FOREVER. FASTER. – throughout the entire year and across all performance categories such as Football, Running, Basketball and Handball. The holistic brand message is emotional and distinctive to make sure it connects and resonates with our target consumers.”

“FOREVER. FASTER. – See The Game Like We Do” launches on April 10 and will be communicated across the entire media mix, such as Social Media, TV, PR, Out Of Home Media and Points of Sale worldwide. It will include a hero brand film and supporting creative assets with featured top athletes, such as Antoine Griezmann, Breanna Stewart, Christian Pulisic, Felix Streng, Jack Grealish, Javier “Chicharito” Hernández, Karsten Warholm, Kai Havertz, Lamelo Ball, Luis Suarez, Memphis Depay, Mondo Duplantis, Neymar Jr., Sergio Aguero, Shericka Jackson, Yaroslava Mahuchikh and many others. Later this year, PUMA will present dedicated brand videos and creative assets for The CONMEBOL Copa America, UEFA Euro 2024, and The 2024 Summer Olympics.
