Neymar's Game

For the uninitiated, Neymar Jr. is Brazil's current golden boy.  He is amazing.  (So is his hair, which he changes a lot.)  He is Brazil's Michael Jordan of soccer.  And just like "Mike," he has promotions coming out of his ears.  Having Neymar endorse your product is huge.

But what are you to do when you are 22 years old, preparing to represent and lead your country in the biggest soccer tournament in the world?  Who has time for all this sponsorship nonsense?!?  It appears - and this is purely speculation! - that Neymar is a genius and went the stock-photo modeling route.

Want Neymar to give your product a thumbs up?  There's a pic for that!  Want him to cross his arms next to your product with his crooked little boy smirk?  Done.  Want him to hold your product?  Problem.  He's taken the pictures already, sorry.  But here he is pointing!  You can use that! 

Neymar loves Mentos!  Yeah!  

Neymar will look up to see what a great deal Claro
will give you on your cell phone plan!

Ice cream brand Kibon got a good deal on a Neymar pic and used it well!
Here he is at a party.  Pointing his thumb at the party...

Here is Neymar pointing the other way at Kibon ice cream prices
on a vendor's cart.  He's so versatile! 

And here he is in the freezer section at the grocery.
Same direction, but look who changed his shirt color?!  Neymar!

Neymar on the side of building holding a remote!
(He may have posed for this one...)

Neymar will cheer for you as you shampoo your hair!

Neymar's head wants you to buy Heliar car batteries!

Panasonic is getting their money's worth.

Neymar points to his head because he
agrees.

It's been a fun little treasure hunt this last few months collecting these ads whenever I saw them.  These were only some of my favorites.  This guy is taking over Brazil!
