Creative idea

“This City is a Derby” reframed the world’s only intercontinental derby as a cultural celebration, not a conflict. Instead of fueling hostility, Puma united rival Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe fans by highlighting the shared passion that already lives in Istanbul’s streets. It became the first-ever campaign to bring these fierce rivals together—just as they coexist in real life. Through a series of social films, outdoor domination and a culturally rich YouTube documentary, Puma turned a symbol of division into one of unity, positioning itself as the brand that truly understands the soul of Istanbul football.
