World Cup Gumball Drop
adidas
Dick's Sporting Goods
To launch the official match ball for the ’26 World Cup, adidas partnered with The Bernard Group to bring electrifying stadium energy directly onto the retail floor. The highlight was a theatrical, custom-built 60-inch gumball-machine-inspired ball dispenser, paired with newsstand pedestals that echoed dynamic tournament headlines. TBG designed, developed, coordinated fabrication, and deployed the immersive activation, creating an interactive, high-impact photo opportunity that turned a product launch into an unmissable event for DSG shoppers.
