Hilton Hotels is promoting is
partnership with The Football Association with its new campaign “Don't Take Me Home.”
The work dovetails with
the World Cup matches.
Created with adam&eve\TBWA and Phase, the spot showcases Hilton, the official hotel partner of the England teams. It uses the song "Don't Take Me Home" by Grammy
winner Tori Kelly, but reimagines it as a hotel stay.

Shot in Hilton London on Park
Lane, Hilton London Syon Park, and Hilton Birmingham Metropole, the spot airs on TV and digital channels, including ITV tournament coverage.
Directed by Raja Virdi, the commercial features
England players Jordan Pickford, Marcus Rashford, Lewis Hall, Morgan Rogers and Anthony Gordon, as well as Ella Toone, Jill Scott, Ray Parlour and England superfan Andy Milne to celebrate generations
of fandom.

The spot is “built around the idea of football bringing people together. That was the exciting part: finding the rhythm, the build and the moments that made the whole thing
feel alive,” said Virdi.
England won its first match 4-2 against Croatia. It plays Ghana June 23 and Panama June 27.
Hilton Hotels is located in 144 countries and
territories.
