Cut Media Creates A Global Content Campaign For Monster Energy

Mar. 24, 2021

Monster Energy’s #ComeWithUs is a global cross-platform campaign that takes fans into the lives of Monster’s next generation of elite athletes. Seven powerful hero films and supporting assets follow Monster athletes training, recovering, and building up to monumental moments in their careers in a series produced, created and directed by Scotland-based global sports content studio Cut Media.

Featuring UFC Champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk, rally royalty Oliver Solberg, X Games Freeski Champion Giulia Tanno, Moto GP rising star Fabio Quartararo, big wave surfer Nic Von Rupp and freestyle mountain biker Adolf Silva, the campaign is made for the fans first and foremost, taking them on an intimate behind-the-scenes journey that shows all the rawness and drama of the athletes’ lives and sports that they love. Activating the #ComeWithUs messaging across multiple channels and platforms, the campaign positions Monster Energy as an engaged and conscious supporter of the communities each athlete represents.

Showing an intimate relationship between the athletes and their fans in a credible and relatable light was crucial to realising the brief, and the central focus of Cut Media’s creative approach. High-end cinematography in combination with self-shooting and archive material gives the viewer the feeling that each athlete is taking individual fans on a personal journey. 

Created in the face of global travel restrictions and local lockdowns by leveraging an international network of collaborators and crew across Europe, the campaign’s success is a testament to the agility and resourcefulness of Cut Media’s integrated creative and production services. 

The campaign launched on Wednesday, 17th March across Monster Energy’s social channels and website, with the hero films being hosted on YouTube, and will be cross-promoted by the athletes on their respective social channels using the hashtag #ComeWithUs.

Stu Thomson, Founder of Cut Media said:

“We pride ourselves on being able to work with the world’s finest athletes and the biggest sports brands, and this project was the perfect opportunity to do just that. It was an absolute pleasure to work with such an array of sporting talent and tell these athletes’ stories to the wider world. Developing and producing this campaign with protagonists situated in every corner of the globe was no mean feat in the current climate, and it’s an absolute credit to our team at Cut Media and the Monster Energy crew that the final results are of such incredible quality. We’re absolutely delighted with the result.”
