In addition, it honored the most creative submission overall with the ISPO AWARD COMMUNICATION OF THE YEAR. The best projects from six categories were presented with the title ISPO AWARD GOLD WINNER, and additional exciting works were named ISPO AWARD WINNERS.

COMMUNICATION OF THE YEAR: Memac Ogilvy Label for C.S Hammam-Lif with Mobilizing the 12th Man

The government prohibited fans from attending games of the Tunisian pro league for safety reasons. To create a great atmosphere in the soccer stadium during an important game for the team C.S Hammam-Lif, fans could cheer for their team in different ways live on television via the app. These were transmitted via 40 loudspeakers into the stadium. Thanks to advance advertising, 93,100 participating fans could be mobilized for the app, who helped prevent their team from being regulated to a lower league with their support. A total of 1.2 million people watched the game.
