Background

After acquiring Poland’s TMS Broker, OANDA sought to amplify brand awareness in the country, as well we wider markets in Europe, Asia, and the Americas via a dynamic sports sponsorship strategy.

The Playmaker Difference

With over a decade of experience at the forefront of online trading’s investment growth in sports sponsorship, Playmaker was uniquely positioned to help OANDA craft the most impactful strategy. Recognising the growing influence of brand ambassadors in building credibility and trust, we focused on finding a globally relevant sports figure who could resonate across OANDA’s diverse target markets. Our analysis of the global sports landscape led us to Robert Lewandowski—one of the most celebrated strikers in the world. With a stellar career at FC Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Borussia Dortmund, Lewandowski has garnered a massive global fanbase and commanded respect in every market OANDA targeted.

The Impact

Robert Lewandowski became the face of OANDA’s global marketing efforts. His image was integrated across all major company communication channels, including brand website, online video content, out-of-home advertising, social media, and digital ads. This partnership drove OANDA’s global promotional push, solidifying the brand’s presence and trust among consumers worldwide.
