Bavaria: Steward
Life can sure be unfair sometimes. Especially for this steward who dutifully keeps his eyes pinned to the crowds in the stands while over the years some of the most stunning Dutch goals have been scored behind his back. But luckily, after all these years, he now also has something exciting to watch because the stands have gotten a lot better looking thanks to the Bavaria DutchDress.

Yeah don't forget, this turned in ambush marketing as during the 2010 FIFA World Cup, 36 women clad in orange DutchDresses went to the Netherlands vs Denmark match in Johannesburg. Tournament officials evicted the group en masse from the stadium. Bavaria wasn't a sponsor of the World Cup and the dresses had a Bavaria logo.

And the ensuring media coverage was phenomenal...
Good things come to those who wait. Nice ad.
What hath God wrought
Nice
Nice girls, nice dresses, nice ad, although the concept isn't a mind blower. The important thing it's the repercution it had as a marketing strategy.
Like it!
