DEUTSCHER FUßBALL BOTSCHAFTER

THE CLIENT
Deutscher Fußball Botschafter, or German Football Ambassador, is a non-profit organization that recognizes and awards football coaches and players each year, while promoting German sports and culture throughout the world.
Through its partnership with mc Group, Germany’s largest communication agency and third-largest advertising agency, PAPER & PAGE was tasked with securing media coverage for a high-profile event: the German Football Ambassador nomination ceremony, in partnership with the German Federal Foreign Office and Goethe-Institut Thailand.

THE PROBLEM
At the time, mc Group did not have a reliable, well-connected partner on the ground in Thailand to coordinate media coverage of the nomination ceremony. Even with such a partner, it would be difficult to secure top-tier coverage in time for the event, which was scheduled to take place in 10 days.
THE SOLUTION


ON FEBRUARY 5th, 2018, mc Group
contacts PAPER & PAGE to coordinate
coverage of the nomination ceremony for
Mr. Ernst Middendorp, Technical Director of True
Bangkok United F.C. He is to formally receive
his nomination in the “Coach” category from
Mr. Roland Bischof, Founder & President of
German Football Ambassador, at a
yet-to-be-determined venue on February 15th.
MR. ERNST MIDDENDORP is known as the century coach of Arminia Bielefeld.
He first went to Ghana in 2000 to train Asante Kotoko S.C., followed by further
engagements in South Africa, Iran, China, and Cyprus. He was one of three coaches
nominated in honor of their outstanding work to be the global face of German sports
and culture.
IMMEDIATELY, PAPER & PAGE reaches out to its media connections and
guarantees top-tier coverage of the event, as well as to the football club to
gather essential information and establish the event venue at Bangkok Christian
College (where it plans to make a sizable donation).

FOUR DAYS LATER, PAPER & PAGE
drafts and distributes bilingual media
invitations and press releases, passing
the ball to key reporters at online, print,
and television outlets to achieve
prestige coverage of the event. A press
junket is planned with bilingual reporters
for exclusive interviews with
Mr. Middendorp and Mr. Bischof.
EVENT HIGHLIGHT
Mr. Bischof nominating Mr. Middendorp for the “Coach” award category, in the presence of H.E. Mr. Peter Prügel, German Ambassador to Thailand, and Mr. Kajorn Chearavanont, Chairman of True Bangkok United F.C.



IT’S FEBRUARY 15th, a sunny Thursday afternoon in downtown Bangkok, where
local and international news crews have converged on the football pitch at
Bangkok Christian College. Cameras flash as Mr. Bischof formally announces the
nomination of Mr. Middendorp for the “Coach” award category in the presence of
H.E. Mr. Peter Prügel, German Ambassador to Thailand,
and Mr. Kajorn Chearavanont, Chairman of True Bangkok United F.C.
In addition to the nomination ceremony, the agenda includes a Q&A session and
exclusive interviews of those involved, ensuring that the media coverage remains
on-message.
