James Rodriguez’ Prominent Campaigns
Calvin Klein
James Rodrguez, a Colombian player for Real Madrid, had a personal endorsement agreement with the clothing company Calvin Klein. James continued to score goals off the field despite not playing as well as he did in prior seasons. The 2016 #mycalvins global campaign of Calvin Klein featured the Colombian footballer as its new face. He joined a long list of well-known people involved in the campaign, including Mark Wahlberg, Justin Bieber, Frank Ocean, Kate Moss, Kendall Jenner, and Bella Hadid.
Huawei
In 2015, James Rodriguez was named the new brand ambassador for HUAWEI Colombia by HUAWEI, the world's top provider of ICT and telecommunication solutions. By partnering with one of Colombia's most well-known and prominent celebrities, who embodies the brand's core principles, the firm hoped to take a novel approach to the Colombian market and its luxury Smartphone line.
The football player stands for the Colombians' commitment, development, tenacity, and capacity to realize their dreams. The campaign "Welcome to the Country of the Possibles" from Huawei aimed to convey exactly that to its target audience. A campaign that encouraged individuals to dream, act passionately, and persevere to achieve their goals.
Adidas
Adidas' head scout Claus-Peter Meyer outlined the reasons for the company's early interest in the youthful phenom in 2014. It was obviously performance in his situation. He was already quite skilled at an early age, and it was clear that he had a clear vision of the game, maintained his cool, and understood how to read the game. While somewhat at ease, he is both eager and attentive. He demonstrated the necessary skills to deliver in demanding circumstances effectively.
