When Rudi Völler needs a new TV
Rudi Völler plays for expert!
Saint Elmo’s Hamburg teamed up with football legend Rudi Völler to create a standout campaign for expert during the 2024 UEFA European Football Championship. As the star testimonial of a neighborhood-themed campaign and the brand ambassador throughout the tournament, Rudi Völler proved to be the perfect match. His approachable, down-to-earth personality not only reflected expert's brand values but also made him a relatable and beloved figure, appealing to a broad audience beyond football fans.
At expert, the neighborhood wins
The EURO campaign, titled “The Neighborhood Wins,” blended humor with the charm of Rudi Völler, portraying him as a neighbor in need of a new TV and expert advice – just like anyone else.
