The advertisement
The advertisement which was released in July is for a Portuguese company called 'Meo'. The ad starts with the interviewer asking a common man about how he would want an ad including Neymar and Ronaldo to be made. The guy replies, "They're boxing" and that is where the advertisement starts. Neymar and Ronaldo are in the ring as they get ready to box. The 49-second advertisement shows us how people are adding their own imagination into the ad with a lady imagining that Neymar will suddenly break into a dance and another person suggesting that both the footballers will wear Luchador masks in the ring with there being three Neymars. There are other versions of the ad in the campaign where Ronaldo and Neymar are seen playing table tennis with chopsticks. The whole campaign plays with the core idea of 'imagination'.
