Execution

We held the Rexona Energizing Parkour Event, grabbing the spotlight and turning heads, in downtown Santiago. The extreme experience and energizing relationship of parkour and Rexona took Chile’s mass media by storm.Staging Chile’s first parkour event was a risk; and the sport itself thrives on danger and flair. We challenged our consumers to do the same: dive in, live with energy. Parkour was the perfect vehicle for our product. The “Energizing Experience” concept literally came to life through this spectacular event and the huge publicity it generated.

As a hi-tech experience, we projected in buildings and walls young parkourists (obstacle jumpers) in a variety of highly concurred spots in the city’s downtown using moving laser projectors (in a car). Their actions were exhibited on the city’s streets. This simple but innovative solution allowed us to generate a great impact on by passers.
