Amazon Features Women’s Football Players in Latest Campaign

Amazon showcases new women’s football partnership in fresh ad

The campaign comes as Amazon announces the launch of its all-new Women’s Football Store, which features products for women’s football players.

Amazon is kicking off a Europe-wide brand campaign featuring real players to showcase women’s football in an effort to spotlight passion, camaraderie and tenacity.

Amazon EU head of brand Laura Downey, said, “We’re extremely proud to be an Official partner of UEFA Women’s Football, and we are committed to using our scale to drive even more momentum for the women’s game. However, we recognise that it is players who make the game what it is, and we want to celebrate that.”

“With the launch of our pan-European brand campaign and our all-new Women’s Football Store we’re dedicated to helping continue to support our customers to access whatever they might need, knowing that they’re shopping a quality selection and it’ll arrive fast, in time for their next match,” Laura Downey added.

Adam&eve DDB CCO Rick Brim said, “This is our first campaign working with Amazon and we couldn’t be happier with the result –a campaign which shows women’s football in all its confident grit and glory, supported by an incredible range of Amazon products from shin pads to ice baths. It was a pleasure and a privilege working with the entire team, and we look forward to seeing the sponsorship evolve.”

Director Molly Manning Walker said, “Women’s football means a huge amount to me – I’ve played my whole life and am madly passionate about it. To have the opportunity to translate that passion as a film-maker and to transfer that authenticity to the screen was crucial to me and vital for our footballing community.”

Created by BAFTA-nominated director Molly Manning Walker and juxtaposed against the 1950s soundtrack “Sweet Old Fashioned Girl” by Teresa Brewer, ‘The Grit’ features a cinematic series of sharp, energetic cuts, from kicks to tackles.

The campaign comes as Amazon announces the launch of its all-new Women’s Football Store, which features products for women’s football players and enthusiasts including shin guards, training vests and cold tape.

The spot is Amazon’s first above-the-line brand campaign supporting its first pan-European sponsorship of UEFA Women’s Football.
