The campaign "also includes opportunities to win mascot places," a school visit from the Premier League trophy or to play on a Premier League pitch. The campaign "was created by Ed Cole and Lewis Mooney." It "was directed" by Si @ Ad through Academy Films. Media planning and buying "was handed by Maxus" (CAMPAIGN LIVE, 2/27).
