Five creators from six countries had to be flown to Miami for one date, the 1v1 World Crown Final, and it was the first time Messi had worked with creators for the brand.
The problem is documented by somebody with nothing to gain from the agency winning the work.
How we know
"This was a landmark moment for Mas+. It's the first time we've brought Leo and the creator community together." Five creators from the UK, US, Canada, Ireland, Spain and Australia, for the final on 19 September 2025.
| Who says so | Mas+'s own global head of brand fame, in a release carried by Agility PR. Ads of Brands carries the identical release, so it is the same copy twice rather than two newsrooms. Read it |
|---|---|
| A second source | Ads of Brands carries the same announcement dated 11 December 2025 with the same headline and the same facts. It is the same press release on a second aggregator, so it confirms the text exists but adds no independent checking. |
| What the agency was asked to do | Not published as a quoted brief. On record: a global creator activation around the Mas+ 1v1 World Crown Final in Miami, bringing five international creators from the UK, US, Canada, Ireland, Spain and Australia together with Lionel Messi, the first time Messi had worked directly with creators for the brand. |
| How that happened | The release describes the work and the results but says nothing about how Billion Dollar Boy was chosen. No pitch, no review, no rival agencies and no start date for the relationship are given. |
| How long it took | Event 19 September 2025, announced 11 December 2025. Relationship length not published. |
