Finding the link between soccer and advertising
Black River F.C. is an ad agency, named after a football club. We needed an identity that reflected both what we are named after, but also what we do.
We used the analogy of creativity in football - that it is game millions of people play, but only few are remembered. The people who stand out are renowned for their skill, but maybe more importantly, their flair.
