Skylark oversaw creative development and execution of the club’s content capture and media day, capturing all creative content for the year, as well as crafting the marketing strategy to capitalize on this huge event.

Skylark worked closely with Wave FC to execute a 360 marketing campaign to launch the jersey and build excitement and interest for the club’s 2024 season. Through unique community events, compelling social media content and impactful sponsorship integration, Skylark helped to generate record jersey sales for the club and draw a record crowd of more than 32,000 at the club’s home opener.

San Diego Wave Campaign

Skylark partnered with the San Diego Wave to lead creative development and execution on the club’s 2024 Media Day. 

As part of a multi-faceted David Beckham statue project, the LA Galaxy worked with James Corden and the Late Late Show to put together a piece of content that would help tell the story of the newly sculpted Beckham Statue that was soon to be the signature piece of art at the front of Dignity Health Sports Park.

The concept was pitched and discussed directly with James Corden. Once Beckham’s team was on board, the LA Galaxy, the Late Late Show and David Beckham’s support team worked to craft one of the most watched pranks in television history. All involved went at great lengths to construct a replica statue, off-kilter celebration video and a staged “statue unveiling” complete with actors and misnomers. The prank has been viewed 50 million times on YouTube and was shared across millions of social platforms while garnering traditional media and engagement for the official statue unveiling.

Statue Prank

Sculpting a statue that matches Beck’s signature good looks and free kick style is a tall order. Thirteen feet and emblazoned in bronze, to be exact. What would happen if we botched the statue?
