José Mourinho started his career as midfield player, but quickly decided to enter the management sphere starting as interpreter. Benfica SL and União de Leiria were the first teams he managed.

Our campaign with José
Interview with Omar Arnaout

Omar Arnaout, CEO of XTB talks about new global marketing campaign 'Be like José' featuring one of the best football managers of all time - José Mourinho. Read why XTB decided to hire new global brand ambassador and why José and XTB are a great team!

It has been several years since your last campaign with a global brand ambassador. Why have you decided to get back to this concept?

 

Omar Arnaout, CEO of XTB: The XTB brand is strongly recognised around the world and we are aware of how important of a role our former brand ambassadors have played in achieving this goal. In the past few years, we have put a lot of focus on other areas of our business, such as technological development, the increase of our product offering and the strong optimisation of many of our core processes. We will continue to put a lot of focus on those areas, but we also believe that now is the right time to once again work with another great brand ambassador, this time one of the most successful football managers in the history of the sport, José Mourinho.

 

Mads Mikkelsen was an actor, in 2020 you signed a partnership with a renowned football manager. Do you feel that the world of football resonates better with XTB or has this choice been motivated mostly by marketing factors?

 

I believe that there are many similarities between being a successful football manager and a successful trader. You should have a strategy that gives you a higher probability of achieving success rather than defeat, but you should also be ready to adapt this strategy depending on the circumstances. You should also be disciplined and mentally tough, because, similarly to managing a football team, losses in trading are part of the process, but what is key is to learn from this experience and come back better and stronger.

 

Why did you choose José Mourinho to become XTB’s global ambassador?

 

Choosing José Mourinho as our new brand ambassador was a no brainer to us. José is a winner and he epitomises many of the things many of us would like to achieve in our lives. We as a company work very hard every day to provide our clients with the best quality of service, support and technology for them to achieve success. Similarly to José, we do all that we can to be the best in the world at what we do.

 

Did the global pandemic have any impact on the campaign with José Mourinho?

 

The preparation of a successful marketing campaign is a long and often difficult process and the global pandemic surely didn't help in making this process easier. On the other hand, thanks to both José Mourinho and his team, along with the very hard work of our team at XTB, we were able to have the campaign ready with the highest quality of materials with no major delays.
