Carlsberg immortalizes ‘legendary saves’ to mark 30 years as Liverpool FC partners

by The Network takes us on a visual pub crawl through 30 years of Liverpool FC fandom

This season marks the 30th anniversary of Carlsberg’s sponsorship of Liverpool FC, the longest partnership in Premier League history. In celebration of this, Carlsberg are launching a multi-channel campaign across 26 markets worldwide, with creative born of a truly collaborative global effort from by The Network partners Worth Your WhileSMALL, The Council and Drive Studios

The campaign is spearheaded by a hero film (shot by award-winning Danish director Tore Frandsen) that takes viewers on an epic three-decade long visual pub crawl through legendary moments, frozen in time. The film taps into a feeling all fans know: cheering on your club with one hand, while protecting your beer with the other. In this case, probably the best beer in the world.

Underscoring the nostalgic film is a bespoke sound-track in the style of Liverpool’s own fan bards and singer-songwriters, a nod to the special significance of songs in LFC fan culture.

Louise Bach, Head of Global Sponsorships, Carlsberg commented: “With this campaign, we are celebrating our partnership from all angles and highlighting what great partnerships really are. Spotlighting moments from the last 30 years – some big, some small, some unforgettable. And sharing it through legends present and past, and the fans.”

More activities continuing Carlsberg’s legacy as ‘fans of the fans’ will launch throughout the 30th anniversary season. Including limited edition ‘Legends’ cans immortalizing Liverpool FC fan favourites Ian Rush, John Barnes, Sami Hyypiä, Robbie Fowler, Jamie Carragher, and Luis Garcia, mini-documentaries connecting Legends and fans over a beer, and fan-centric activations that pay tribute to long-time loyal fans.
