Last night saw the
recording of Nike Live: The Cesc Fabregas Show in front of a live studio audience in Wembley.
It’s a one-off TV event celebrating the success of the young Arsenal star. Over 7 months in the making, it was a big number. One of the biggest
projects that Nike UK has ever undertaken, while it was hard work
– in true Nike style – it shows their determination to push for and develop
truly creative, innovative work. The initial idea came from AKQA and has been developed in partnership between them, W+K London, Attention Seekers and, of course, Nike UK. The atmosphere last night was electric – with 600 hundred young arsenal fans hailing Fabregas and Arsene Wenger.

 
From a communications perspective,
this is just the start. We have already created and seeded key pieces of content seeded to
some of the most influential bloggers in football. See below for a couple of sample clips.

We’ll release
further pieces from last night’s live show to drive traffic back to the main
hub so as you can download / watch the show in chapters from the site, which is at http://www.skysports.com/nikelivefabregas/.

 
The full-length show featuring Cesc, Wenger, star guests and, er, Cesc’s mum and dad, will be broadcast on Sky Sports from next week.
