Starting today, adidas brings its passion for sport to life with the global roll-out of a series of films called Sport 15.

“Sport 15 is more than a campaign. Sport 15 is a long-term investment into ourbrand,”, says Eric Liedtke, adidas Board Member responsible for Global Brands. “adidas has a longer legacy in every sport than any of our competitors. Therefore, we know sport and athletes better than anyone else.”

The campaign will be primarily activatedvia broadcastduring the upcoming global cricket event. In addition, adidas also brings the story to life through a strategic roll-out across social media via the unique adidas network of global news rooms located in Herzogenaurach, London, Portland, Shanghai, Moscow and Rio de Janeiro.
