Budweiser x Fifa World Cup Collection

In partnership with Vayner3

We launched the first-ever dynamic digital collectible for Budweiser at FIFA World Cup.

We made history by launching the first-ever, Fifa World Cup Live Scoreboard NFT—a dynamic digital collectible that evolved in real time allowing fans track their team’s journey throughout the World Cup and unlocking never-before-seen rewards and grand prize VIP 360° experience in Doha to see the finals, live.

Immersive Engagement:
Welcome to the Budverse

Our team led the creative and blockchain strategy, from NFT design to website design, social media engagement, Discord and IRL activations. This Web3 experience redefined digital collectibles, bringing ultra-fans together like never before.

Real-Time Utility:
Dynamic NFTs & Exclusive Rewards

Fans could track live scores on their digital collectibles, with each tournament phase—Round of 16, Quarter-finals, Semi-finals, and Finals—unlocking special edition NFTs.

Collectors gained access to:

Limited-edition NFTs reflecting key tournament moments
Entry to win a once-in-a-lifetime VIP 360° Experience, including World Cup finals tickets, a stay at the Budweiser Hotel, and access to elite events

Play to Win:
Budverse Penalty Kick Mini-Game

To hype up the tournament, we developed "Budverse Penalty Kick", a Web3-powered mini-game where fans could pick their team, create a player, and compete for prizes. The game served as a pre-reveal experience, fueling anticipation and deepening fan engagement via Discord and social media challenges.

RESULTS

⚽ Argentina claimed the World Cup title—one lucky fan claimed the ultimate VIP experience. And Budweiser sold 27,000 NFTS and made 6.5 Million in revenue for the Budverse.

🎟️ Thousands of fans engaged with digital collectibles, owning historic moments from the tournament.

🔗 This project set a new standard for fan engagement in sports, proving the power of blockchain-backed experiences.

Oh, and Qatar banned the sale of alcohol days before the games began 😅 so we had many event and social media strategy scrambles!

Red Bull Doodle Art Competition

We introduced Web3 and blockchain technology for the first time ever to the Red Bull Doodle Art competition, expanding the event’s reach and bringing fresh exposure to both Red Bull and the student artists. This collaboration was further enhanced by our suggested partnership with acclaimed NFT artist Burnt Toast (aka Scott Martin). This gave participants a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to co-create with a major NFT brand artist.

We guided the co-creation process with Scott, developing a cohesive masterpiece for student creators, while also designing the competition website and curating Web3 gallery event ideas.

This year's open call drew 120,000 entries—nearly double the previous year—resulting in 61 finalists whose work was seamlessly integrated into Burnt Toast's iconic doodles and placed on the blockchain. The program promoted positivity and self-expression, culminating in the grand prize, co-created with Scott, awarded at the World Finals in Amsterdam at Capital C. Through this initiative, we introduced a younger generation to Web3, fostering community engagement through NFT sales, artist royalties, and trading of co-created designs. Each finalist received a digital collectible NFT trophy, designed by the previous year’s winner, celebrating their creativity. Esteemed judges evaluated submissions based on creativity and their ability to capture life’s essence, while a public gallery showcased the finalists’ doodles alongside new NFT creations by national winners.

Art winners had an open mint of the collection that went live during the 3-day event on Nifty Gateway.

This collaboration culminated in Burnt Toast adding his personal touch to the winning artwork by Chiara Croce from Italy.

Michelob Ultra x LinksDAO
In partnership with Vayner3

We were thrilled to collaborate with LinksDAO, the premier Web3 Golf Community and a pioneering decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that unites golf enthusiasts worldwide to democratize the sport by buying and governing golf courses. Through this partnership, we helped craft an engaging and immersive experience that connected Web3 golf lovers and ULTRA beer fans at NFT.NYC.

The event, held at the vibrant 5iron Golf Herald Square, brought together over 200 passionate attendees from the LinksDAO community, Web3 leaders, and invited guests. With a dedicated golf simulator bay and an atmosphere charged with excitement, participants had the chance to engage in curated contests and enjoy complimentary Michelob ULTRA beverages. This unique setting not only showcased the intersection of golf and technology but also emphasized LinksDAO’s mission to empower its members through shared ownership of golf courses.

Our creative direction and innovative POAP designs were integral to the event, ensuring that each participant left with a memorable digital collectible that celebrated their involvement. The POAP was available on site only and could be used to unlock future rewards by ULTRA via their Web3 community.

By capturing social content and encouraging interactions across channels, we amplified the event's reach and showcased the dynamic energy of the LinksDAO community. This collaboration not only highlighted the potential of Web3 in transforming traditional sports but also fostered a sense of belonging among golf enthusiasts who are excited about shaping the future of the game.
