KICKS return to the Swedish Cup after StockholmMediaAward with Config
Fragbite Group AB’s (publ) subsidiary Config has together with KICKS won the “Campaign of the Year – Silver” award at the Stockholm Media Awards for a campaign carried out in conjunction with the 2025 Swedish Cup (sv. “Svenska Cupen”). KICKS will also return as a sponsor for this year’s edition of the Swedish Cup.
At the StockholmMediaAward, Config and beauty chain KICKS, together with the agency Scream, won “Campaign of the Year – Silver” for the “Skin Experts – Enter the Game” campaign. The campaign was developed by Config in conjunction with KICKS’ sponsorship of the 2025 Swedish Cup in Counter-Strike, Sweden’s largest national esports tournament and the most prominent IP run by subsidiary Fragbite.
KICKS is also returning as a sponsor for this year's Swedish Cup, which kicked off on October 10 with open qualifying rounds.
“We are very pleased with the warm welcome KICKS received from Sweden’s Counter-Strike community during last year’s Svenska Cupen. Continuing this partnership for a second year is both exciting and logical. We look forward to deepening our relationship with the community and creating new, relevant initiatives that will engage fans during this year’s tournament,” says Charlotte Larsson, Head of Brand Marketing & Media, KICKS.
“It was a pleasure to have KICKS on board during the 2025 Swedish Cup, and thus we’re very excited to welcome them back again this year. With KICKS’ wide selection, they have something for every CS fan, and it is great to see KICKS reach new audiences through Sweden’s largest CS tournament,” says Daniel Pereaux, CEO, Fragbite AB and Config.
