Ford picks Quiet Storm to create football activity

Ford has appointed Quiet Storm to create the advertising for its Destination Football brand. The task covers both its UEFA Champions League sponsorship across Europe and its Sky Sports football sponsorship in the UK.

The work will break in time for the 2003/2004 football season and make Ford's association with the sport more emotive to tap into viewers' passion for the game.

The car maker also wants to leverage its football tie-up in innovative ways, including viral and ambient campaigns.

It will employ similar TV creative for both the Champions League - which covers 44 countries, 66 broadcasters and 17 different languages - and the Sky sponsorship.

Quiet Storm secured the accounts in two separate pitches, which both involved Ford's lead agency, Ogilvy & Mather, which created the first Destination Football ads and idents two years ago.

Ford spent £13m supporting its Champions League sponsorship across Europe, and close to £10m backing Sky's football coverage.
