ORLANDO, Fla. (Oct. 14, 2024) — Following the first-ever trophy win in Club history, the Orlando Pride wants to know: "Do You See Us Now?" The motto leads the Club’s newly unveiled campaign for the 2024 NWSL Playoffs run, celebrated by Orlando Health, which launches today throughout Greater Orlando and across the Club’s global-reaching digital platforms.
"This season, the Pride have proven something undeniable: This is a team that simply cannot be ignored," said Orlando Pride President of Business Operations, Jarrod Dillon. "'Do You See Us Now?' is a rallying cry for our community, for the fans that have supported us from the beginning, to those that may have just attended their first match or even those that have not yet been to a game. The Pride have gone far too long without receiving the recognition they deserve, and they are putting the world on notice. It’s time to show up, get excited and witness greatness."
"Do You See Us Now?" highlights the numerous achievements and records set by the Pride throughout their historic 2024 season, such as the team’s NWSL Shield victory, league-record unbeaten streak, outstanding defensive achievements and five Olympic medals. The messaging will be displayed across Orlando on billboards, the Jefferson St. Garage off of I-4, downtown’s iconic Church St. Bridge and Orlando’s City Hall, as well as through digital, TV and print media opportunities.
The playoff push will be supported by Pride partners such as Orlando Health, Publix, Heart of Florida United Way, Circle K, Heineken and Pepsi, who will utilize their out-of-home and in-store advertising spaces, as well as integrated promotions, to boost the reach of the campaign.
Fans will have the opportunity to engage with the campaign through several grassroots and community activations, with the calendar of events including:
