Performance footwear, apparel and accessories brand Under Armour has partnered with actor Jamie Foxx and NBA All-Star Stephen Curry to launch the brand’s global brand campaign, "The Book of Will".The campaign champions underdogs whose journeys to fame are defined by a relentless drive to succeed. The campaign was first launched in the United States on YouTube on 15 February 2015 and will run globally through out the year. Upcoming videos will run on NFL Network and ESPN and also across other social media platforms.The first film which was recently launched as part of the campaign is titled “Volume One: Shakespeare Got it All Wrong”.
