E.l.f. Soccer Activations

PR Campaign
Friday 26th June, 2026

E.l.f. staged in-person activations tied to soccer fandom — appearing at FootballCo’s House of Goal in New York, presenting the 2026 NWSL Challenge Cup with a fan carpet, live dance-alongs, halftime performances, Roblox minigames and Hispanic-focused meet-and-greets — to generate cultural attention around the World Cup and NWSL partnership.

Why it worked: It hijacked the World Cup news window with a physical fan hub plus Roblox tie-ins, backed by fresh women’s-soccer and Hispanic fandom stats.

The lesson: Consider timing your on-site pop-up and online mini-experience to a finals weekend, anchored by one surprising audience data point.
