LIGUE 1
McDONALD’S

We Will Show You

In this two and a half minute film created with the Sid Lee Paris agency, Ligue 1 shows us its take on the beautiful game. More than just a film, the brand loudly expresses its new positioning –Football. But French.– and proves this through passionate supporters, football wizardry and epic music. A new direction for the league, clubs, players, and supporters, this is the adopted positioning of the championship for the coming year.

Rather than settling for just another film of football tricks, the league puts all its technical prowess into action, challenging the old English cliché of the "Farmers League" and showing us what Ligue 1 is really all about. And while it may start with a fish & chip dinner, the French odyssey that follows show our cynical British protagonist, Willy, how much he needs to learn about Ligue 1.









 

STEPHANE SOUSSAN


Hello! I’m Stephane Soussan, known to many as Souss, an Art Director with a deep passion for graphic design, visual storytelling, and craftsmanship.

With more than 20 years of experience in advertising agencies, I’ve designed and produced film, print, digital, and integrated campaigns for international brands. I’ve developed visual identities, shaped creative concepts, and collaborated closely with creative, production, and multidisciplinary teams to bring ideas to life—from the first idea to the final execution.


Since January 2026, I’ve also been the co-founder of Studio Nueve, a physical space in Paris built around football culture and its connections with design, photography, fashion, and contemporary culture. Studio Nueve brings together three complementary activities: a coffee shop; a curated retail and cultural space dedicated to football shirts, photography, books, and other objects; and a design studio working with brands on branding, creative direction, design, and marketing strategy.

Through Studio Nueve, I’m exploring football not only as a sport, but as a powerful cultural and creative territory. It’s a space where my different interests and areas of expertise come together—design, branding, culture, storytelling, strategy, and craftsmanship.
