Reaching a Gen Z audience for YouTube during the World Cup

YouTube wanted to reach a Gen Z audience with exclusive activations around the 2022 Football World Cup. Using premium OOH AV sporting content to compliment its co-sponsorship of the tournament.
The Brief
YouTube shorts are the short-form section of popular video-sharing website YouTube, and are a great way to connect with a new Gen Z audience using only a smartphone.
YouTube specifically wanted to run their activities around the 2022 World Cup. With the aim of reaching a core audience of Gen Z football fans to supplement Google’s linear TV partnership with ITV.
With Gen Z viewing patterns being difficult to decipher, C-Screens identified the creation of fan-zones as a way of reaching this light-viewing football fan audience.
Campaign
C-Screens worked with Powerleague and other partners to create a series of World Cup Fan Zones with large-format screens showcasing the tournament. Putting together a bespoke sponsorship package for YouTube, incorporating branded environments, sponsorship idents and on-screen spot campaigns.
C-Screens identified areas that indexed highly for the Gen Z audience they were looking to engage with, fand created on-site sponsored fan-zones in Manchester, Birmingham, London and Essex. This collaboration involved YouTube branding being seen across screens, car parks, pitches and bars.
Results
With a renewed company focus on sustainability, our new engineering team used recycled materials from previous events to construct our large-format screens, creating our most sustainable pop-up event to date.
