He’s Coming Home

Challenge

Domestic abuse during major sporting events isn’t a new story. It’s been told before — and often well.

Strategy

Hijack the icons of the game.

Idea

Take the most optimistic phrase in English football — “It’s coming home” — and change just one word.

He’s Coming Home.

A line that instantly reframed celebration into threat.

Working with House 337, we helped take the idea into culture and into media.

  • Giant England flags printed with He’s Coming Home, installed across high-footfall locations nationwide

  • A film showing match-day celebrations — before revealing the reality inside one home

  • A coordinated media push placing the message into national, consumer and regional titles

  • Social-first distribution to drive reach, sharing and conversation

The work landed during the World Cup, when attention — and risk — was at its peak.

Impact

  • 50+ pieces of coverage in the first week, including national titles 

  • 17% increase in traffic to Women’s Aid’s support page during launch

  • 222m+ organic social reach driven by public sharing

  • 24m views on TikTok over launch weekend 

  • 44% increase in traffic to the donation page

Most importantly, it got people talking again — about an issue too often ignored once it’s been “covered before.”
