John Lewis Signs John Lewis

The Idea

With an unmissable Summer of sport fast approaching, John Lewis tasked us with making them THE go-to destination for TVs and sound systems, helping the nation secure the ultimate home advantage before kick off. The problem? We weren’t allowed to mention the W*rld C*p. And we needed to speak to fans in a way that resonated, with an idea that got past F*F*'s legal team.

So whilst every other brand and their dog signed Premier League golden boys, we did something different…

Enter, Lenell John-Lewis.

The Boston United striker has spent his entire career followed by the chant, “His name is a shop!”, and finally, the shop came knocking.

Lenell gave us the perfect loophole for John Lewis to brag about their unbeatable football viewing set-ups, using the powers of the third person… and an unforgettable chant.

The signing of the century? The fans think so.
