Under Armour. Grind now, glory later.

Problem
Under Armour wanted to target its core audience with a campaign that reinforced the brand’s ethos: the hard work comes first, the rewards come later. The challenge was to design assets that captured grit and intensity without losing clarity when applied across large-scale formats in the European market.

Approach
Working with the internal design studio at 72&Sunny, we developed a visual system rooted in raw training energy. Layouts prioritized athletes in motion, sweat, and effort, paired with a bold typographic treatment of the line “Grind Now, Glory Later.” The design needed to be versatile—equally impactful on billboards, transit posters, and digital placements.

Solution
The resulting campaign assets created a consistent, product-driven design language that elevated Under Armour’s core values. By balancing bold visuals with a clear modular system, the work gave the brand a unified presence across Europe—communicating resilience and authenticity at every scale.
