The tenth Rugby World Cup 2023 is around the corner, making England Rugby fans more passionate than ever. Following this, O2, a leading digital communications company in the UK, unveiled the “Wear la Rose” artwork outside the Louvre Museum in Paris.
Wear la Rose is an iconic art piece inspired by The French Romanticism style, created by award-winning Canadian artist Vincent McIndoe. Created in collaboration with O2, the art depicts England fans holding flags and wearing white t-shirts with ‘O2’ on them. Hence, the painting reveals the true spirit of England Rugby fans.
Moreover, England’s former captain, Dylan Hartley, unveiled the painting outside the famous museum. The O2 team later escorted the emblem of patriotism for England fans to various significant French landmarks.
The creative campaign integrates the teamwork of VCCP London, a UK communications agency; Girl&Bear, a global content production studio; and Bernadette, a digital innovation company.
