| Story | Bring clarity to the unwritten rules of the Rugby World Cup |
| Philosophy | Confused.com are the joint-headline sponsor for the ITV and STV coverage of the Rugby World Cup 2019 in Japan, and have released a series of nine sponsorship idents which will surround the coverage in broadcast and online. The sponsorship creative, created by advertising agency Karmarama, uses Japanese concepts to bring clarity to the unwritten rules and hidden art of the game of rugby, and in doing so, provides a fresh perspective on the sport. Confused.com aims to provide clarity in a world of confusion, taking what can be overwhelming deals and insurance options and helping consumers make clearer, more confident decisions. This is reflected in its Rugby World Cup sponsorship creative, which brings clarity to the unspoken principles of rugby. The visually arresting idents feature a mix of Japanese cultural concepts, idioms and philosophies interpreted in the context of the game of rugby, giving a new perspective on elements of the sport, for example ‘Wa’, ‘Nintai’, and ‘Danshari’. The idents were directed by Basak Erol of Blink Productions, who brought together choreographers and rugby coaches to collaborate in creating a balance of visually interesting movements captured onscreen. Each execution features carefully choreographed rugby players, captured in-camera in a live stage setting. The sponsorship idents will run from the Opening Ceremony on Friday 20th September, through to the final on 2ndNovember. |
