Sydney Sweeney makes bold statement with new Novig campaign

Sydney Sweeney has grabbed attention with a provocative new advertising campaign for sports prediction company Novig, while also discussing how she wants her brand partnerships to involve more than simply appearing in front of the camera.

The Euphoria actress stars in Novig’s latest “Just Sports” campaign, where she uses various sports equipment, including footballs, shoulder pads and a goalkeeper’s gloves, to strategically cover herself. The unusual concept quickly generated significant attention online after the advertisement was released.

“Think you know sports? Prove it,” Sweeney says in the commercial. “Novig is just sports. So they wanted to show just sports.”

The advertisement takes an unexpected turn as the camera moves farther away, revealing Sweeney in a provocative sports-themed setup while she sits on a basketball hoop and spins a basketball on her finger. The stunt draws inspiration from the style of basketball entertainment associated with the Harlem Globetrotters.

The campaign appeared to gain strong traction across social media. Within about 12 hours of being uploaded to YouTube on Wednesday, Novig’s advertisement had received around 72,000 views. On X, however, the campaign attracted more than 3 million views during the same period.

Novig did not post the advertisement on Instagram or TikTok, potentially because of the platforms’ community guidelines concerning provocative content.

## Sydney Sweeney takes a bigger role in brand partnerships

Beyond the attention surrounding the campaign, Sweeney has also spoken about her growing involvement in business and brand collaborations. In an interview with Complex the actress explained that she enjoys participating in the creative and business decisions behind projects rather than simply serving as the public face of a campaign.

“I love being able to be involved in the entire process with every single person from the ground up,” Sweeney said, describing the experience as giving her a greater sense of ownership.

The The Housemaid star said she is challenging herself by learning more about the different aspects involved in building and promoting a brand. She explained that her increased creative authority has allowed her to participate in discussions ranging from casting and marketing to budgeting, target audiences and the markets a project aims to reach.

According to Sweeney, being involved in these areas has also helped her develop a greater appreciation for everyone working behind the scenes.

She recently became an equity partner in Novig, further expanding her relationship with the sports prediction company. Her partnership with the brand coincides with the launch of its “Just Sports” campaign.

Sweeney said she has enjoyed working on the project and emphasized the collaborative nature of the partnership. Her comments reflect a broader interest in taking an active role in the projects associated with her name, combining her public profile with creative participation and business involvement.

The campaign has now become a major talking point online, with its unconventional concept and Sweeney’s expanding role in the partnership drawing considerable public attention.
