Adidas announced a new partnership with 72andSunny, the global creative agency, to lead its sport campaigns.
 
72andSunny will serve as the lead global creative agency for Adidas Sport responsible for brand-level global campaigns with a strategic focus on soccer, running, basketball and women’s.

To achieve these ambitions, we set out to work with the best. With their history of innovation and creating cutting-edge campaigns, 72andSunny is the perfect partner to help us demonstrate that Adidas is the best sports brand in the world.”
