Problem

The announcement that Virgin Atlantic were to fly out the England team for this summers World Cup in South Africa was a fantastic opportunity for some positive news for the brand. We wanted to tap into the jubilant atmosphere and buzz that surrounds the tournament whilst highlighting Virgin Atlantics role as official partner and proud supporter of the England World Cup campaign.
