the brief

For Google Germany's World Cup 2026 campaign, Jung von Matt SPORTS and Iconoclast made a series of films about the way people watch football during a tournament: everyone has a take. Predictions, stats, player histories, big claims made from the sofa. Google Suche is there for all of it, helping fans find the answers they need.

our part

Together with composer Maik Cox and music supervisor Rachel Tauwnaar, we handled the soundtrack, sound design and final mix for the campaign, bringing the pace, tension and thrill of football culture to every film. Many of the stadium crowds and match environments were created with AI, so their sound simply didn't exist yet. Crowd swells, chants and match-day atmosphere were designed from scratch and matched to the picture. And all of it had to hold up across 18 films, from 30-second hero spots down to six-second social edits.
