Burger King’s alliance with Stevenage FC was the most-talked about partnership of 2020, generating global conversations and cut-through using an innovative, digital first approach.
At the end of the year the partnership broke through again with the announcement that Burger King would become ‘Burger Queen’ as part of an alliance with Stevenage’s women’s team.
In this exclusive webinar, Stevenage CEO Alex Tunbridge will be joined by Pancho Cassis, Partner & Global Chief Creative Officer of Burger King’s creative agency, DAVID, to discuss how this iconic sponsorship has been brought to life.
